Yongsan-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Park Hee-young) is recruiting 50 students to participate in the Small Business Startup Academy jointly operated with the Seoul Credit Guarantee Foundation (hereinafter Seoul Shinbo) until April 8.

The purpose is to provide essential education that prospective entrepreneurs and small business owners need to know when starting a business, thereby increasing the success rate of startups and promoting job creation.

This training will be held over two days, April 15-16, at the Yongsan Art Hall (150 Noksapyeong-daero, Basement 3rd floor) in the cultural lecture room. The tuition is free, and those who complete the course will be issued a certificate of completion required to apply for Seoul Shinbo’s special guarantee for startup funds.

The curriculum consists of Day 1 ▲Startup funds, guarantee support systems, and small business support projects ▲Commercial district location analysis and utilization ▲Business plan theory and writing practice, and Day 2 ▲Online marketing ▲Startup taxation ▲Labor and employee management.

Jang Dong-geun, a management consultant at the Seoul Credit Guarantee Foundation, will introduce how to utilize the startup fund guarantee support system and share success and failure cases of credit management.

For prospective entrepreneurs or small business owners with a short business history, a business plan is crucial to obtaining startup loans.
