As it is known, the Small and Medium Enterprises Development and Support Administration (KOSGEB) in our country continues to offer support programs for entrepreneurs, which it has updated according to needs. Entrepreneurship support programs implemented by KOSGEB in 2010 were updated in 2019 and started to appear in two forms as Traditional Entrepreneurship Support Program and Advanced Entrepreneurship Support Program. According to this distinction, while manufacturing and software sectors are supported by the Advanced Entrepreneurship Support Program, service sectors are also supported under the Traditional Entrepreneur Support Programme.
When we look at the contents of these programs, we see that the Traditional Entrepreneurship Support Program provides support up to 65 thousand TL. The Advanced Entrepreneurship Support Program, on the other hand, has a different system because it is divided into three different categories. It is known that grant support is provided up to 175 thousand TL for low technology sectors, 275 thousand TL for medium high technology level, and up to 375 thousand TL for high technology level enterprises.
These supports of KOSGEB undoubtedly encourage entrepreneurs even more and can provide incentives to increase the number of value-added works. Entrepreneur candidates can find detailed information about what KOSGEB, whose support to the entrepreneurial ecosystem is increasing day by day, does and what benefits it can provide, from the link below.
