THE BIRTH AND ESTABLISHMENT OF CGF
In 1993, the Credit Guarantee Fund (CGF) was established between the Turkish Government and the Federal German Government under the "Assistance for Establishing a Credit Guarantee Fund for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises" agreement.
The KGF is the first and only "CREDIT GUARANTEE" organization in Turkey to be AECM member operating in accordance with the Council of Ministers' Resolution 93/4496 dated July 14, 1993 and numbered 21637 published in the Official Gazette. * AECM (European Mutual Guarantee Association)
The total resources of KGF A.Ş. is TL 1,362,4 Million including the paid-up capital of 240 Million TL and the Treasury Source capital back-ups.
WHO CAN APPLY?
The KFG Bail is applicable to real or legal entities defined by the "Regulation on the Definition, Qualifications and Classification of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises" dated 19/10/2005 and numbered 2005/9617 as well as real persons or legal entities that carry qualifications of Civil Servants and Craftsmen, Self-Employed Members, Agricultural Businesses and Farmers in the scope of SMES.
Supporting the growth and development of small and medium-sized businesses with promising young and creative entrepreneurs, CGF lifts the obstacle of collateral shortage before good business ideas.
This collateral problem of small businesses that cannot easily reach the bank loan facilities as large as the large enterprises is solved by the CGF guarantee, which enables SMEs to use bank credits. Enterprises with an employee number of 250, an annual output and an asset size of not more than 40 Million TL each are regarded as SMEs, and the demands of the entrepreneurs in the mining sector as well as the manufacturing industry are met.
SMEs, tradesmen and craftsmen, agricultural enterprises and farmers in all regions of Turkey, women and young entrepreneurs can apply for the KGF bail.

HOW DO CGF EVALUATE REQUESTS FROM SMEs?
Including risk-sharing requests from the banks, our request evaluation process for TÜBİTAK and KOSGEB supports starts with our experts visiting the company at work and discussing the bailment requests. We are trying to find out the need of the company, the reasons arising the needs and the reasons for CGF request. in the requests coming from the banks, the experts are starting their visit with the assumption that the company has lending principles for providing loans in banking. The aim here is to determine whether the firm with the lending principles is in fact deficient in collateral before the bank.
As a result of the visits of the experts, they draw up a report on the company. The reports are sent together with their views to the relevant unit in the general directorate, and after the unit adds its own opinion, it is evaluated in the credit committee created to represent the partners. If it is concluded that the lack of collateral will prevent the use of the loan, a guarantee decision is given and the lack of guarantee of the SME is completed with our bailment. If it is understood that the banks are from the companies that are exempted from lending by the banks due to other factors other than the lack of guarantee, the bail of the CGF may be negative.
In addition to this, in case the CGF does not take part in the review and evaluation process, we also provide bailment with the portfolio guarantee. A large proportion of the risk is undertaken by banks.
