Many small business owners ask the same question: “Am I eligible for government policy funding?” The problem is that many wait too long to check. In reality, checking eligibility should come before preparing documents or applying.
Korea’s small business policy funding programs are divided into different categories, and qualification may vary depending on business type, employee count, years in business, revenue, and credit condition.
Who Usually Qualifies?
In general, most businesses should first check the number of full-time employees.
- Most industries: fewer than 5 employees
- Manufacturing, construction, transportation, mining: fewer than 10 employees
Why You Should Check Early
Many funding programs are processed on a limited-budget basis. That means waiting too long can lead to missed opportunities, even if you qualify.
Key takeaway
Do not start with the application.
Start by checking whether your business is actually eligible.
