Problem

When a 48-year-old solo cafe owner decides to close due to declining revenue, they don't know the correct order for business registration cancellation, final VAT filing, lease termination, employee severance settlement, and inventory disposal. Getting the sequence wrong can delay lease deposit recovery, trigger VAT penalties, or disqualify them from self-employed unemployment benefits (job-seeker's allowance). This information is scattered across the National Tax Service, Employment Centers, district offices, and courts, requiring 3-5 days of research alone, and incorrect blog information frequently causes losses of millions of won (thousands of USD).

Solution

Users enter their business type, reason for closure, employee status, and remaining lease period on the web, and the system generates a 'Business Closure 72-Hour Action Checkboard.' It maps out required administrative procedures on a D-30/D-14/D-7/D-Day/D+7/D+30 timeline, with checklists covering required documents, submission offices, deadlines, and precautions for each procedure. It includes a self-assessment for self-employed unemployment benefit eligibility and re-startup grant qualification check.
