Reducing Fee Burden for Small Businesses

Project Boosted with 240 Million Won Investment

Ulju County in Ulsan will provide delivery fee subsidies and discount coupons from next month to promote the use of the public delivery app 'Meokkaebi'.


On March 11, Ulju County held the '2026 Public Delivery App Activation Project Consignment Contract Ceremony' with the Ulsan Credit Guarantee Foundation's Small Business Happiness Dream Center at the Eunhaengnamu Hall in the county office.


The ceremony was attended by County Governor Lee Soongeol, Kim Yonggil, Chairman of the Ulsan Credit Guarantee Foundation, officials from the Small Business Happiness Dream Center, the CEO of the public delivery app Meokkaebi, as well as representatives from the Ulju County Small Business Association and the restaurant industry, who shared the purpose and details of the project.


The Public Delivery App Activation Project aims to ease the management burden on local small business owners, who are struggling with high fees charged by private delivery apps, and to establish a stable business foundation. Ulju County plans to encourage the use of the public delivery app, which offers lower fees than private apps, by providing consumers with delivery fee subsidies and discount coupons.


The support targets small business owners in Ulju County who are affiliated with the public delivery app 'Meokkaebi', as well as customers who place orders through the app. A 3,000 won delivery fee coupon will be provided at all times for orders placed via Meokkaebi, and an additional 2,000 won discount coupon will be offered during specific periods such as vacation seasons, local festivals, and weekends.


Ulju County will allocate a total of 240 million won to implement the project from next month until the budget is exhausted. The Ulsan Credit Guarantee Foundation will be responsible for the overall operation and management of the Public Delivery App Activation Project, while Ulju County will provide administrative and financial support to ensure smooth implementation.



An official from Ulju County stated, "We expect to stimulate consumption and increase orders for small businesses through the Public Delivery App Activation Project, ultimately easing real management burdens thanks to the lower fee structure," and added, "We will continue to promote small business support policies based on public interest and mutual growth."

Ulju County is holding the '2026 Public Delivery App Activation Project Consignment Contract Ceremony' with the Ulsan Credit Guarantee Foundation (under which the Small Business Happiness Dream Center operates).
