The universe of the research is the SMEs in Erzurum, which Kosgeb started under the SME project title between 2016-2019 and benefited from the Kobigel - SME Development Support Program in 2019 and operate in the manufacturing sector. In this context, a face-to-face survey was conducted with 45 companies benefiting from the support program. The survey data obtained from the participating companies were analyzed with the IBM SPSS Statistic 20 package program. All findings were tested at the 0.05 significance level. As data analysis, one-way analysis of variance, Levene test and LSD test from multiple comparison tests were used. Findings – SMEs generally think that they cannot benefit from the supports. It is seen that the reasons why SMEs cannot benefit from these supports adequately are due to "lack of information about incentives", "heavy incentive conditions for SMEs" and "complex incentive procedures". The contribution of the supports to the SMEs operating in Erzurum is generally positive, and it is seen that the SMEs' thoughts on applying for new supports are positive.
