When preparing a sample KOSGEB project, there are some points that should be primarily considered. These points include expressing the suitability of the project, explaining why the project is needed, stating the objectives in implementing the project, outlining the strategies to be followed during project application, and accurately conveying the outputs to be obtained after the project implementation.

When you decide to prepare a project for your business, the first step you should take is to check the compatibility of your project idea with which program and your eligibility for the relevant program. After checking compatibility, the relevant principles should be reviewed to see what supports can be obtained within the program and how the supports offered align with your company's needs. After all these processes are completed, if the institution requests it, the relevant pre-registration procedures should be carried out, and the project preparation process should begin. In summary, a KOSGEB project should be as follows:
• The objectives of the project applicant must align with the objectives of the KOSGEB Program.
• There must be sufficient activities and objectives to achieve the purposes stated in the application.
• The project objectives and activities must provide qualitative and quantitative contribution in line with the expected results.
• The language used in the project form should be clear and understandable.
• Expected risks in the project and the measures to be taken should be included.
• Project outputs should provide advantages to the applicant in terms of added value, efficiency, and competitiveness.
• Project outputs should make a positive contribution to the national economy.
• Supporting documents must be completely included.
• The requested expenses within the project must be directly related to the implementation of the project.
• Expenses listed in the project budget should be appropriate in terms of benefits and costs.
• The project budget should be distributed consistently and balanced.
• Project activities, duration, and time-activity plan should be efficient and traceable.
• The gains obtained from the project should be sustainable even after the project's duration.

Sharing Business/Project Idea with KOSGEB

There are some forms provided to you for the accurate transfer of your business or project idea to KOSGEB. You need to fill out these forms correctly and clearly explain your business/project idea through these forms to KOSGEB.

The most important point to pay attention to while filling out the relevant forms is the accuracy of the information and sharing it transparently with the institution. KOSGEB asks you some strategically important questions so that you can transfer your business/project idea in the most detailed manner.

Answering the questions directed to your company regarding your business/project idea clearly and without leaving any doubts will be meticulously evaluated by the institution. Providing original and compatible answers with the project idea while responding to the relevant questions is one of the most important points assessed by the institution.

Project Purpose, Objectives, and Implementation

How to Determine Project Objectives?

The purpose of the project should be compatible with the needs of the company. For example; if your company wants to open up to the foreign market and intends to employ staff in this area, it would be incorrect to state that the purpose of your project is solely the acquisition of machinery and equipment and to shape the project design accordingly.

Moreover, continuing with the same example, solely applying to programs that provide hardware and equipment support or only requesting equipment support will also cause inconsistencies between the project needs and objectives. Therefore, it is not incorrect to say that the requirements you will identify based on your company's needs will be fundamental in defining the purpose of your project.

How to Determine Project Goals?

The goals of the project refer to the long-term strategic outputs that you aim to achieve by the end of the project. We reveal the long-term effects of the employment or machinery-equipment acquisition to be realized within the project. For instance, if a blue-collar employee we have employed within the scope of the project brings our existing machinery-equipment to a position of producing at full capacity, preparing one of our project goals as, “With the employment made, we will achieve full-capacity production and meet our customers' demands 100%, increasing our market share by 100%,” would not be incorrect.

What to Consider During Project Implementation?

During the project application, all information regarding the project's implementation period is presented in detail. For the successful completion of the implementation period, the project should be meticulously prepared in terms of feasibility in the preparation stage. The supports requested during the application should be purchased during the implementation period in accordance with the criteria and timeline specified in the application documents, as this period is critical. Additionally, purchases that do not comply with the purchasing criteria set by KOSGEB will not be supported by the institution.

Carefully conducting the implementation period activities ensures that the project budget you have won during the application is effectively transferred to your institution.
