• Quasi-Investment-Advisory Business Registration — Running an investment-signal service and need to register it?

  Registration, Not Full Investment-Advisor Licensing

• In-House R&D Lab Registration (KOITA) — Want the tax credit and grant eligibility an R&D lab unlocks?

  Registering a company R&D lab or dedicated research department with KOITA — headcount, physical-space, and documentation requirements — to unlock a 25% R&D tax credit and evaluation points toward Main-Biz, Inno-Biz, and venture-company certification.

  The Certification That Feeds Every Other One

• Main-Biz Certification — Growing through management, not just R&D — is there a certification for that?

  Main-Biz certifies companies growing through management innovation — marketing, organizational systems, productivity — so retail and service businesses qualify alongside manufacturers, with no in-house R&D lab required.

• Venture-Company Certification — Recognized as a genuine tech-innovation startup — and the tax breaks that come with it?

  Venture-company certification recognizes companies with genuine technological innovation and growth potential — up to 50% tax cuts, enhanced technology-guarantee backing, and KOSDAQ listing preference — plus what a reconfirmation review actually checks.

  Where Reconfirmation Applications Most Often Get Rejected

• KONEPS Public-Procurement Bidding Registration — Want to bid on Korea's tens-of-trillions-won public procurement market?

  Registering bidding eligibility on KONEPS, Korea's national e-procurement portal — required documents, the six-stage bid process, and the most common reasons registrations get rejected or delayed.

  The Entry Ticket to Government Contracts

• KC Product Certification — Need your product certified to sell or import into Korea?

  KC certification (Korea's mandatory safety/EMC mark) for regulated products entering the Korean market — testing timelines, scope by product category, and the government subsidy programs that offset SME testing costs.

  The Entry Gate for Regulated Products

• General Civil & Administrative Affairs — A civil or administrative matter that doesn't fit a neat category?

  Industrial-accident compensation claims to Korea's Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service (KCOMWEL) — medical, wage-replacement, and disability benefit filings, plus average-wage corrections — structure-installation reporting to district offices, fact-verification certificates and formal notices for property disputes, and nonprofit-corporation matters — from initial incorporated-association/foundation formation to the prior-approval process for articles-of-incorporation changes and the post-report process for representative/officer changes.
