According to Sejong City on the 8th, as of 7 a.m. the previous day, a total of 8,902 local small business owners had completed their applications for the Emergency Business Stabilization Fund.


The Emergency Business Stabilization Fund was established to support small business owners facing operational difficulties due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The target recipients are small business owners in Sejong with annual sales of 300 million KRW or less, and each eligible person will receive 500,000 KRW in cash.


The city plans to strengthen promotional activities as the application deadline approaches to ensure that all small business owners affected by COVID-19 receive support without omission.


Applications can be made online (including mobile) or by visiting in person. Online applications are accepted until midnight on the 13th, and applicants can access the city hall website based on the last digit of their birth year (by day of the week) to select ‘Small Business Emergency Business Stabilization Fund Application’ and apply.
