The Small and Medium Business Agency announced on the 23rd that it will begin accepting applications for the '2026 Restart Support Headquarters Startup Specialized Education and Consulting' program starting on the 24th.
This initiative aims to strengthen the capabilities of entrepreneurs who are restarting their businesses and to support their successful re-entry into the market. The program focuses on addressing issues previously raised by restart businesses, such as the lack of external expert consultation and insufficient training support for entrepreneurs.
The program is open to 200 individuals who have experienced business closure or are prospective restart entrepreneurs. Applications will be accepted online until September 4.
Selected participants will receive three months of common training, along with expert-tailored education and consulting based on an analysis of previous failure causes.
All graduates will receive advantages during the Small and Medium Business Agency's in-depth management evaluation, including points for document evaluation and additional principal reductions for those who sign agreements for the New Start Fund. Ten outstanding graduates will also be exempted from document evaluation for the 2027 Restart Success Package.
Kim Il-ho, Director of Corporate Finance at the Small and Medium Business Agency, stated, "Through the Restart Support Headquarters, we are working with private, government, and public institutions to improve public perception of restart businesses and to spread a culture of support for re-entering the market. We will do our best to create an environment where failure becomes an asset, centered around the Restart Support Headquarters."
