Gwangju Buk-gu Supports Consulting for Reopened Small Business Owners

On the 17th, Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced that it is recruiting participants for the 'Re-Startup Hope Dream Consulting Support Project' targeting re-startup small business owners.

This project was prepared to support small business owners who inevitably closed their businesses due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and economic recession and have since re-started, helping them to successfully recover.

The support targets small business owners who have a history of closure since 2020 and have re-started their businesses within the district this year. The selection will be divided into two periods, selecting 20 people each for the first and second rounds.

The selected small business owners will receive one-on-one customized consulting and follow-up management from professional management counselors, including diagnosis of problems in their closed businesses and their current business.

In particular, small business owners who diligently complete the consulting will also receive support for management improvement execution costs up to 1.5 million KRW.

The application period for the first round is until the 2nd of next month, and the second round is from August 1 to August 31.

Small business owners wishing to apply should prepare the necessary documents within the application period and submit them in person to the Small Business Support Division of Buk-gu Office. For more details, please check the Buk-gu Office website.

Buk-gu will decide the final support recipients through a selection committee review and notify them individually.

A Buk-gu official said, "We hope that re-startup small business owners will successfully recover through this project and grow into stable local economic agents," adding, "We will continue to develop various policies to become a reliable support for small business owners."
