Sejong City to Recruit New 'Good Price Businesses' in the Second Half of the Year

Sejong City announced on the 1st that it will recruit new “Good Price Businesses” for the second half of the year until the 15th.

Applications can be made by small business owners operating personal service industries such as food service, beauty salons, and laundry services located in Sejong, provided their prices do not exceed the regional average price, and they have no administrative sanctions or local tax arrears within the past two years.

However, businesses that have been operating for less than six months and franchise businesses are excluded from eligibility.

Businesses selected as Good Price Businesses will receive a certification plaque. They will also benefit from a 20% discount on water bills (limited to businesses using individual meters), promotion on the Sejong City website, and support such as volume-based waste bag and consumables provision.

After the application deadline, Sejong City plans to decide on the selection through on-site inspections by a public-private joint evaluation team, considering factors such as whether the price level is below the regional average, the hygiene and cleanliness inside and outside the store, and compliance with local currency affiliation and price display regulations.

Businesses wishing to apply can download the application form from the notices and announcements section on the Sejong City website, fill it out, and submit it along with their business registration certificate by visiting the Small Business Division at City Hall or via email.

Meanwhile, 37 businesses were newly designated as Good Price Businesses in the first half of this year, including Moran Banjeom in Areum-dong, Haengbokhan Yakcho Kalguksu in Dodam-dong, and Jayeon Self Car Wash in Geumnam-myeon.
