Seoul district support for small businesses

Overview

Seoul districts are implementing various financial support programs for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small business owners.

In Gangnam-gu, a 16.6 billion won loan support program was announced to assist with business operations, facility expansion, or technological development. The program offers fixed annual interest rates of 1.5% and utilizes an expanded network of 35 partner bank branches to improve accessibility for eligible applicants.

Other districts, such as Jung-gu and Geumcheon-gu, are shifting toward data-driven support models. These initiatives involve partnerships with the Seoul Credit Guarantee Foundation to utilize big data—including sales, rent trends, and floating population data—to refine financial policies. Jung-gu has secured a special guarantee limit of 43.75 billion won through various banking contributions, while Geumcheon-gu aims to use data to classify debtors into risk groups to provide tailored financial suggestions.
