What you get from KOSGEB Consulting
-
Strategic project design and technical writing
We turn your idea into a project written in the technical language KOSGEB regulations expect. We build a project design that fits the evaluation board’s scoring criteria and rests on sound reasoning. -
The right programme, a planned budget
We analyse your business’s needs and identify the support programme that suits you best. We plan eligible cost items one by one, and we spot and manage the risk of deductions before the file goes to the institution. -
Regulatory risk managed in advance
We identify the “formal error” and “non-compliance” risks common in KOSGEB processes at the file stage and reduce them. We keep track of the implementing rules, which change often, and run every step of your project in line with the regulations. -
End-to-end process and file management
The application is only the beginning. After project approval, we manage the most critical stage on your behalf: preparing Payment Request Files, tracking invoices and handling revisions, taking the operational load off your shoulders. -
Claims and payment files that follow the rules
We manage your purchasing in line with the payment rules. By checking that spending follows the KOSGEB format, we reduce the risk of deductions and rejected invoices at the payment stage. -
Sustainable growth and financing
We treat KOSGEB not as one-off support but as a step on your growth journey. We give your business a corporate, auditable project management discipline it can keep using after the project ends.
