Problem

Small Business Owners with annual revenue under ~$225,000 and Freelancers trying to compare eligibility requirements across livelihood subsidies and small business support programs announced separately by central government, metropolitan, and municipal authorities spend an average of 3-5 hours per application. Misinterpreting requirements leads to ineligible applications or missed eligible subsidies in roughly 20-30% of all applicants. This results in losing ~$375-$2,250 in annual subsidies per person, or wasting an additional 2-3 hours on resubmission after rejection.

Solution

A SaaS that auto-matches currently available subsidies when users input their business registration number, income information, and region, and predicts eligibility probability for each subsidy. (1) Crawls public data portal subsidy announcements + LLM-based structured parsing of eligibility requirements, (2) Automatic eligibility determination against user profile, (3) Application document checklist and deadline alerts.

Target: Small Business Owners with annual revenue ~$75,000-$375,000 and Freelancer business operators (ages 30-50s)
Revenue Model: Premium SaaS Monthly Subscription ~$22/month per account. Free Plan: 3 lookups/month. Paid Plan: unlimited lookups + alerts + document checklist. 20% discount for Annual Subscription.
