Gwanak-gu Provides a Total of 1.4 Billion KRW Support to Small Business Owners Affected by Gathering Ban (700,000 KRW Each)

70,000 KRW Support for Small Businesses Affected by Gathering Bans on Karaoke, PC Rooms, Indoor Sports Facilities, and Academies... Email and In-Person Applications to Relevant Departments by Industry from 16th to 27th

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (District Mayor Park Junhee) will provide support worth 1.4 billion KRW from the district budget for 'Support for Small Business Operators Affected by Social Gathering Ban' targeting small business owners who suffered damages due to the Level 2 social distancing gathering ban to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

This support aims to assist local small business owners such as karaoke rooms, PC rooms, indoor sports facilities, and academies who experienced business losses due to the Level 2 social distancing gathering ban.

The support amount is 700,000 KRW per business, and eligibility requires that the main business location on the business registration certificate is in Gwanak-gu, the business was registered before October 11, and the small business is operating as of the payment date.

The application period is 14 days from November 16 to 27. Applicants can check the required documents on the Gwanak-gu Office website (News & Notices → Gwanak News) and apply by visiting the relevant department according to the business type or by email.

In particular, this support includes entertainment businesses that suffered damages due to the gathering ban but were excluded from various support programs such as the Small and Medium Business Development Fund due to being classified as excluded industries, thus expected to help more small business owners.

The district expects about 2,000 gathering-ban businesses in the area to receive support, and plans to sequentially disburse payments to businesses deemed eligible through review between November 30 and December 11.

District Mayor Park Junhee said, "We hope this support will provide some help to small business owners who have suffered business losses due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic," and added, "We will continue to make every effort to develop projects to support small business owners who are exhausted and facing economic difficulties due to COVID-19."
