Problem

When retirees aged 57–62 start a small business (cafe, workshop, tutoring, online selling), they need to set up a range of digital tools after business registration—POS systems, reservation platforms, Instagram Business, Naver Place listings, delivery app onboarding, card payment terminals, and simple bookkeeping—all separately. Hiring a digital setup agency costs 1,000,000–3,000,000 KRW (~$750–$2,250), even though most of this work can be done by the owner in 2–3 days. The real problem is that they don't even know which tools their specific business type requires.

Solution

Users select their business type (cafe/restaurant/academy/workshop/online seller) and receive an auto-generated list of required digital tools, with step-by-step screenshot guides for signing up and configuring each one. A 3-day completion roadmap is provided: 'Day 1: POS setup → Day 2: Naver Place registration → Day 3: Instagram Business conversion.' Free vs. paid options and monthly costs for each tool are also compared.

Target: Ages 55–62, preparing a small business after retirement, comfortable with smartphones and PCs but no experience setting up business tools

Revenue Model: Industry-specific tool recommendation list: Free. Full setup guide (with screenshots) + 3-day roadmap: $22. Post-setup 1-month Q&A support: $37.
