Woori Bank is partnering with the Korea Financial Services Agency to support small business owners. The initiative aims to identify small stores with growth potential and provide them with promotional and consulting assistance.
On June 30, Woori Bank announced that it will launch the 'Recognized Store' project starting July 1.
The project will help 20 small business owners who are committed to community contributions enhance their store competitiveness. Eligible participants will be selected from users of the Woori Miso Financial Foundation and members of the Good Influence Store Association.
Selected stores will receive an official certification plaque and stickers for display. They will also benefit from online promotional funding and opportunities for publicity through social media and press releases.
Additionally, tailored consulting will be provided. Professional consultants will assess overall management, including strategies for increasing sales and legal, tax, and labor issues, while connecting store owners with mentors from the Good Influence Store Association to share operational expertise and community engagement methods.
Woori Bank plans to create a structure where customer visits lead to increased store promotion and sales. The initiative aims to encourage supported stores to participate in talent donations, charitable contributions, and community service activities, thereby enhancing the positive cycle of influence.
The application period runs from July 1 to July 13. More details can be found on the websites of the Korea Financial Services Agency and the Woori Miso Financial Foundation.
A Woori Bank representative stated, "We hope this project will strengthen the self-sustainability of small business owners and help spread positive influence within the community."
