Gyeongnam Credit Guarantee Foundation will expand small business startup education to 500 people and customized consulting to 430 cases, and plans to continuously operate small business collaboration support projects and business settlement support projects for marginal small business owners.



Furthermore, to establish a customized comprehensive support system for small business owners, it will newly implement the "Small Business Alley Market Vitalization Project" to revitalize neighborhood commercial districts and the "Made in Gyeongnam Support Project" to support the expansion of online sales channels for competitive items.
