Under the program, businesses will be offered loans with a 6-month grace period on principal payments and a maximum term of 36 months. The aim is to keep financing costs below market conditions. While loans of up to 50 million TL per business are envisaged, SMEs' access to credit will be supported by a guarantee mechanism, and SMEs that maintain their employment will receive 10 points of financing support through KOSGEB.
