According to the criteria for classifying business entities approved by the Cabinet of Ministers' decree of December 21, 2018, the "Startup"certificate is issued to legal entities and individual entrepreneurs who are micro or small enterprises.

If the applicant is not a micro or small enterprise but is a founder of a medium or large enterprise owning more than 49% of the shares of the legal entity, or if the applicant is not recognized as a tax resident, the Small and Medium Business Development Agency (KOBİA) may decide to deny the issuance of the "Startup " certificate.

It is worth noting that the "Startup" certificate applies exemption for micro and small enterprises engaged in innovative activities from paying income tax and profit tax for three years.
