[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 15th that it will promote the ‘Small Business Small-scale Management Environment Improvement Project’ to alleviate the difficulties of small business owners due to increased management burdens and to improve management conditions.

The support contents of this improvement project include POS system establishment (sales payment system), store management environment improvement (replacement of outdoor signs, interior decoration, display shelves, etc.), and promotional support (website construction, promotional material production). Additionally, items for COVID-19 quarantine and disinfection facilities and packaging containers for product packaging have been added.

The county will select 77 small business owners within the jurisdiction and support 80% of the facility improvement costs (supply value) per store within a limit of 2 million KRW.

The support target is small business owners who have been operating for more than six months as of the announcement date with a business registration certificate in the county. Applicants can check the announcement on the county website and submit application documents to the Economic and Transportation Division of the county office.

The application period is from the 25th to February 26th, and only Zero Pay affiliated stores will be selected to activate Zero Pay (0% payment commission), a simple payment service for small business owners.

Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang-gun, said, “We hope that this will be a practical help to local small business owners who have been stagnated due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and that the local economy will be revitalized,” and added, “We encourage many small business owners who need facility improvements to participate.”
