This support desk was established and operated within the City Hall’s Corporate Support Division to assess and assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small business owners affected by the heavy snowfall.


Through this support desk, Gwangju City comprehensively provides services including receiving damage reports and complaints from affected businesses, guiding management fund support policies, and consulting on other difficulties.


Gwangju City plans to actively support affected businesses administratively by identifying unreported damage cases through promotional media such as SNS and cooperation with townships and neighborhoods, ensuring that businesses reporting damage receive related support.


In addition to the current heavy snow damage, the ‘Gwangju City Heavy Snow Damage Support Desk for Businesses’ will continue to operate until the end of the winter season to provide prompt administrative support to businesses affected by natural disasters during the winter.


A Gwangju City official stated, “We will do our best to ensure that the damage reports from local businesses affected by this heavy snow are processed smoothly so that they can recover quickly.”



Meanwhile, damage reports related to this heavy snow can be submitted until the 13th. SMEs and small business owners whose damage is confirmed can receive a Disaster SME Confirmation Certificate. Businesses issued this certificate can apply for special management funds for disaster-affected companies from the Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation, with the application deadline being the 26th.
