Annual Limit of 1 Million Won
On the 30th, Anseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced that it will promote a delivery fee support project for 'Baedal Teukgeup' franchise stores to ease the burden on small business owners due to the increase in delivery fees.
The support targets small business owners in the jurisdiction who have paid delivery fees through 'Baedal Teukgeup,' Gyeonggi Province's public delivery service, from December 1 of last year to November 30 of this year. The support amount is 3,000 KRW in local currency per delivery order and 2,000 KRW for general payments, with a maximum support of up to 1 million KRW per business.
However, if the owner operates multiple businesses, only one business will be supported. Businesses that cannot provide proof of sales from the previous year or those without Baedal Teukgeup orders are excluded from the support.
The application period for the fee support is from the 1st of next month to November 30. Small business owners wishing to apply can do so online through the Anseong City Hall website under the 'Delivery Fee Support Project' notice or apply in person at the Job and Economy Division.
A city official said, "We hope this support will lead to actual income for local small business owners and help stabilize their management."
