Loan or Grant? Make this distinction first

1 million TL
It is not a support payment or an amount to be given to everyone.
20 million TL
The appropriate project and financial evaluation are decisive.
20 points
It does not mean a grant equal to 20% of the investment.
24 / 36 months
Do not confuse project duration with loan repayment period.
There are special caps for businesses declared within the scope of defense, aerospace supplier development. In defense projects, limits of C: 25 million, B: 27.5 million, A: 30 million TL are applied according to the EYDEP level. This exception does not apply to all SMEs.
Basis for amounts and periods KOSGEB support elements table. Credit allocation or support approval is not a guarantee. Evaluate your own repayment plan, the current conditions of the financial institution and the guarantee/guarantee process, if any, separately.
