Any world economy places special emphasis on small and medium enterprises that is why the enterprises of this sector are called the “backbone” of the economy. Therefore, we can state that SMEs play a very important role in the development of the national economy, especially of the rural economy: SMEs contribute directly to the Gross Domestic Product formation and to the creation of new jobs; they stimulate competition, increase exports, and promote innovation and technology. They are also more flexible, more adaptable to new market demands than large enterprises; this fact shows the importance and necessity of these enterprises. The main aim of this paper is to identify the SME’s role for the rural economy, as well as to identify the priority directions for increasing the efficiency of these enterprises’ activities.

The article represents an analysis of the legislation of the Republic of Moldova in force on the way of implementation and use for obtaining permits in different sectors, such as trade, constructions. The researches were based on the study of legislation regulating the entrepreneur’s activity, which refers to the registration and liquidation of enterprises. The registration process also includes fiscal, statistical, medical and social records by electronic transmission to the authorities concerned of the data on its registration and the respective notification of the legal person. The relevant conclusions are drawn in this area. The basic conclusion is that the amendments and supplements to the legislation in force strengthened the regulation of the entrepreneurial activity by introducing the one-stop shop. Due to the active population’s migration to work, the population in the rural area decreases, the production infrastructure for the producers is not quite developed; these consequences directly lead to the diminution of the entrepreneurial efficiency by decreasing the number of registered enterprises and the increase of the number of enterprises that are deleted from the State Register of Companies.
