Hana Bank is assisting small business owners in adopting high-efficiency energy equipment and expanding their online sales channels.

On June 10, Hana Bank announced that it will begin accepting applications for its "Small Business Competitiveness Enhancement Support Program" for three weeks starting June 11. The program covers two fields: "Support for Introducing High-Efficiency Energy Equipment" and "Support for Expanding Online Sales Channels," with a total of 1,300 businesses to be selected.

The support program for introducing high-efficiency energy equipment targets small business owners nationwide who wish to reduce energy costs and improve operational efficiency. Up to 1,000 businesses will be selected, each eligible to receive a subsidy of up to 2 million won for the purchase of high-efficiency energy equipment. Eligible items include energy efficiency grade 1 to 3 air conditioners (including heating and cooling units), refrigerators (including kimchi refrigerators), washing machines, clothes dryers, air purifiers, and dehumidifiers.

The support program for expanding online sales channels is aimed at small business owners looking to enter the online market and diversify their sales. A total of 300 businesses will receive solutions to help them join online platforms and boost sales. The program is divided into three categories: "Support for Joining Online Platforms," which assists with product design improvements, page creation, and sales strategy development; "Live Commerce Support," which helps with broadcast planning and influencer recruitment; and "Crowdfunding Support," which aids in planning reward-based crowdfunding campaigns and building funding pages.

Hana Bank plans to comprehensively review the business feasibility, sustainability, and appropriateness of support for each applicant before making final selections. Priority benefits during the review process will be given to small business owners operating in "alley-type commercial districts" designated by local government ordinances, as well as those who have completed registration as Onnuri gift certificate affiliates.

Applications can be submitted through Hana Bank's mobile application "Hana 1Q," the dedicated channel for sole proprietors "Hana The SOHO," the Hana Bank website, and the Hana Power-On platform.

A Hana Bank representative explained, "This Small Business Competitiveness Enhancement Support Program was established to help improve the practical business competitiveness of small business owners by supporting energy cost reduction and digital and online market entry."
