Gwangju-Jeonnam Small and Medium Business Administration Supports Establishment of Non-Face-to-Face Work System

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gwangju-Jeonnam Regional Small and Medium Venture Business Administration will recruit demand companies for the 'Non-face-to-face Service Voucher Project' to establish non-face-to-face work systems for small and medium enterprises from the 1st to the 14th of next month.

The Ministry of SMEs plans to invest a budget of 41 billion KRW this year to provide vouchers that allow about 15,000 small and medium enterprises to use non-face-to-face services such as video conferencing and telecommuting (collaboration tools), supporting up to 4 million KRW per company (including 30% self-payment).

The voucher support targets small and medium enterprises as defined in Article 2 of the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises, and from this year, the self-payment rate has been increased (from 10% to 30%) to support companies with a high willingness to utilize non-face-to-face services. Businesses without employees, which have relatively low demand for non-face-to-face services, are excluded from the application target.

Vouchers will be distributed in order of high evaluation scores based on the service utilization plan assessment for applying companies, and businesses with low evaluation scores will be excluded from support.

Demand companies receiving vouchers can select their desired service fields and suppliers (service providers) within the 4 million KRW voucher limit to receive voucher services.

Service products provided by suppliers will be disclosed through the platform.

In particular, from this year, to fundamentally block fraudulent acts such as proxy applications, payments, and paybacks, the submission of an integrity pledge is mandatory, and actual service usage will be checked through service access records.

If there is no login record for 30 days after payment for the service product, the payment will be canceled and the project funds will be reclaimed. Additionally, if there is no service access record for three consecutive months during service use, government support will be suspended.
