Daejeon City Provides Emergency Support of 200,000 Won Each to Food and Public Hygiene Businesses

Daejeon City announced on the 16th that it will provide emergency support of 200,000 KRW each to food and public hygiene businesses within the city.

The support is aimed at reducing the economic burden on small business owners who are struggling with management difficulties due to increases in public utility charges such as electricity and gas.

The support targets approximately 36,000 food and public hygiene businesses that registered, reported, or obtained permission to operate in Daejeon before December 31 of last year and are currently operating in Daejeon.

The industries include food hygiene businesses such as general restaurants, snack bars, bakeries, consigned catering, food manufacturing and processing, food additive manufacturing, and instant sales manufacturing and processing, as well as public hygiene businesses such as lodging, bathhouses, and hair and beauty salons.

Applications can be submitted on a date-based odd-even system from the 20th of this month to the 21st of next month via the Daejeon Job and Economy Promotion Agency website or in person on the first floor of the Daejeon Job and Economy Promotion Agency.

The odd-even system operates based on the last digit of the business registration number. For example, on the first day of application (the 20th), those with an even last digit in their business registration number can apply, and on the following day (the 21st), those with an odd last digit can apply.

Eligibility for support will be determined within seven days after reviewing the application details and supporting documents (with requests for supplementation if necessary), and applicants will be notified via text message. Support funds will be distributed in the order applications are received.

Meanwhile, for small business owners excluded from support (notified), objections can be submitted from April 24 to May 10, and eligibility will be rechecked to ensure that no eligible recipients are disadvantaged.

For more detailed information about the support, please refer to the announcement posted on the Daejeon City Hall website or contact the Small Business Emergency Support Civil Service Office.

Kim Young-bin, Director of the Economic Science Bureau of the city, said, “We urge small business owners operating food and public hygiene businesses in Daejeon to apply within the application period to ensure they are not omitted from the support.”
