Gwangju Buk-gu, Promotion of Comprehensive Consulting Support Project for Small Business Owners
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 29th that starting this month, it will actively promote the 'Comprehensive Consulting Support Project for Small Business Owners' in collaboration with the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency to stabilize the management of small business owners facing difficulties such as decreased sales due to COVID-19.
The comprehensive consulting project has been conducted together with the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency since 2019, providing consulting support to 260 companies up to last year.
According to data analyzed by Buk-gu and the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency, the closure rate of users of Buk-gu's comprehensive consulting (6.5%) is lower than the national average closure rate (11.7%), and the sales increase rate is higher than the national average, indicating that participation in consulting is greatly helpful to small business owners.
This year, customized consulting in 10 areas including location analysis, marketing, store operation (product packaging and display, menu development), taxation, and online store management will be conducted for 120 companies.
In particular, starting with on-site consultations by professional consultants, focused consulting, satisfaction surveys, and feedback through dedicated post-management officials at Buk-gu Office will be provided to strengthen the self-sustainability of small business owners.
Small business owners participating in the consulting can also receive additional support such as production of promotional materials worth 200,000 KRW and guidance on government and Gwangju City small business support policies.
