Procedure
- Certification Difficulty High
Designation or certification after document review and on-site evaluation against the criteria set by the agency. The result depends on the evaluation score or review outcome.
We will review the type of venture business confirmation and the application requirements for each Innobiz, Mainbiz, and startup support announcement, and prepare the application form, business plan, and self-diagnosis supporting materials.

- 01
Choose the programs you can apply for: Narrow down by years in business and track record. Inno-Biz and Main-Biz require three or more years in business, so companies in their first or second year should first review venture confirmation (innovative growth or R&D type) and startup support programs.
- 02
Check program eligibility: The pre-startup package is for people with no business registration as of the notice date, the early-startup package for businesses within three years of founding, and the startup-leap package for businesses over three and up to seven years old. Businesses with national or local tax arrears, overdue financial loans, or that are closed or suspended are excluded from most notices.
- 03
Secure basic certificates and check requirements: Most certifications and programs require an SME confirmation or startup business confirmation, so obtain a valid one first. The venture R&D type requires a corporate research institute or dedicated R&D department, R&D spending of 50 million won or more over the previous four quarters, and a sales-ratio criterion (waived for companies under three years old); the venture investment type requires investment of 50 million won or more from an eligible investor amounting to at least 10% of capital.
- 04
Prepare the business plan and application: For Inno-Biz and Main-Biz, the online self-assessment score must exceed the threshold before an on-site evaluation can be requested. Write venture confirmation and startup package business plans in the notice's format so that technology, market, and sales plans match the supporting documents.
- 05
Respond to evaluation and supplementation: Evaluators such as specialized agencies or the Korea Technology Finance Corporation check whether the documents match conditions on site. Inno-Biz application fees are not refunded if the on-site evaluation fails, so align the evidence in advance.
- 06
Validity and follow-up: Venture confirmation, Inno-Biz, and Main-Biz are valid for three years, and Inno-Biz and Main-Biz extensions are applied for from 90 days before expiry. Some programs, such as innovation vouchers, restrict applications the following year if you give up the agreement after selection, so manage agreement, self-funding, and settlement schedules together.
