The target group for recruitment is approximately 120 small business owners whose annual sales last year were less than 300 million won.

If selected for the support project, applicants will receive on-site consulting from professional business consultants.

They can receive up to 2 million won to cover costs for improving store environments, such as signage and display interiors. However, individuals must pay value-added tax and other related expenses themselves.

Applications can be submitted by searching for "Small Business Owner Business Environment Improvement Support Project" in the "News" section on the city's official website, or by downloading the application form from the Korea Productivity Center website and mailing the completed form to the Korea Productivity Center (9th Floor, Win-Win Cooperation Center, 32 Saemunan-ro 5-ga-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul).

Applicants may also visit Desk 16 at the General Civil Consultation Counter on the first floor of Yongin City Hall to apply in person. However, in-person applications will not be accepted on weekends and public holidays.

Applicants who are affiliated merchants of the Yongin Special City local currency, "Good Price" certified businesses, families with multiple children, or Yongin residents can receive additional points during the review process if they submit supporting documents.

An official from Yongin City stated, "We hope that providing practical support for improving the business environment of small business owners facing operational difficulties will enhance their business competitiveness and help revitalize local commercial districts and the livelihoods of residents. We encourage your active interest and participation."
