Problem

When Self-employed business owners aged 50-60 decide to close due to declining revenue, it's difficult to determine on their own whether they qualify for key money recovery opportunity protection under the Commercial Building Lease Protection Act. The conditions are complex — remaining lease period, converted deposit amount, business operation period — and even after paying $225-375 (300,000-500,000 won) for a lawyer consultation, they often get only a 'case-by-case' answer. Failing to recover $22,500-75,000 (30-100 million won) in key money makes post-closure recovery virtually impossible.

Solution

Users enter key lease contract details (deposit, Monthly Rent, contract period, business operation period, commercial building location) on the web, and the tool automatically determines: Commercial Building Lease Protection Act applicability, converted deposit threshold status, and key money recovery opportunity protection eligibility. It also provides summaries of similar court precedents and estimated ranges by key money category (business goodwill, facility value, and location Premium).

Target: Ages 50-60, operating small businesses (restaurants, retail shops, hair salons) for 5+ years, considering closure, uncertain about key money recovery eligibility
Revenue Model: Basic determination free, detailed key money assessment Report at $7.50 (9,900 won) Per Transaction, referral commission on professional lawyer matching
