In good news for small businesses, the Korean Ministry of SMEs and Startups announced on the 9th February that it will operate the ‘2021 Hope Return Package project,’ which helps small businesses recover. The Hope Return Package is a project that supports small business owners who are scheduled to close or close their business due to worsening business conditions, from business reorganization to employment and re-startup education. The Ministry of SMEs  will  provide support for store demolition costs (up to 2 million won), job information search training and job change incentives (up to 1 million won).

The program will expand the café employment and re-startup programs for small businesses in their 40s or older, and support private incubation and rental fees for eco-friendly small business owners through access to shared kitchens. A new project cost (12 billion won, up to 10 million won for 50% of the private burden) was newly established.
