Problem

Self-employed individuals and small business owners aged 45-60 face hundreds of government and local government support programs (business stabilization funds, technology development subsidies, employment stability support, re-startup support, etc.) each year, but information is scattered across central ministries, local governments, and public institution websites, making it take a full day just to find what applies to them. The Ministry of Economy and Finance's Subsidy24 allows integrated search, but it's difficult to filter out 'exactly what fits me' based on complex conditions like industry, sales size, location, and age, and missing application deadlines frequently results in losing out on millions of KRW in benefits.

Solution

By entering 5-6 basic pieces of information on the web (industry, sales size, number of employees, business location, representative's age, years in business), it automatically matches currently available government and local government subsidies/support programs and displays them in priority order. For each program, it provides estimated benefit amount, application deadline, required document checklist, and direct link to the application page. It sends email or KakaoTalk notifications 7 days and 3 days before deadlines to prevent missing them.

Target: Small business owners and self-employed individuals aged 45-58, representatives of small businesses with 5 or fewer employees, and those with 3+ years in business who have little experience receiving government support.
Revenue Model: Free basic matching (top 3 results). Premium (5,000 KRW/month, approx. $3.75): full matching results + deadline notifications + document preparation guide PDF. Future possibility of tax/administrative agent matching brokerage fee (10,000 KRW per transaction, approx. $7.50).
