What is the KOSGEB SME Finance Support Programme?
Under the KOSGEB SME Finance Support Programme, KOSGEB covered all or part of the interest or profit share on SMEs’ bank loans.
The aim is to give SMEs access to credit on favourable terms.
Under the SME Finance Support Programme, interest/profit share support was given for working capital loans and machinery and equipment loans.
How did the SME Finance Support Programme work?
The first condition for SME finance support was that the business was registered and active in the KOSGEB database, with an up-to-date SME Information Declaration.
Be clear from the start about what the loan is for and how you will repay it. We work out the current KOSGEB options that suit your business together at the pre-assessment.
