The "Business Restructuring Subsidy," which will soon be open for public applications, is a subsidy that provides two-thirds of the costs associated with transforming business models and implementing infection prevention measures for companies affected by the spread of the COVID-19 virus, with grants ranging from 1 million to 100 million yen per company. The total budget for the Business Restructuring Subsidy has secured 1.485 trillion yen for supporting business model transformations and is positioned as the next support subsidy following the Sustained Benefit Payment. While the Sustained Benefit Payment is a defensive subsidy aimed at covering losses, the Business Restructuring Subsidy is an offensive subsidy that supports capital investments for new initiatives. We will welcome experts to explain the tips and points to consider in an easy-to-understand manner. Please join us. Date of the event: March 26, 2021 (Friday) 11:00-11:50 AM Program: 1.
