Export Voucher: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how businesses targeting international markets can receive marketing budget support to help fuel their global expansion efforts.
The Export Voucher is a support program designed to help businesses grow by providing financial assistance for marketing activities aimed at international markets.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for businesses that are actively targeting overseas markets. It is specifically intended for companies looking to move beyond domestic sales and establish a presence in foreign territories. If your business model involves reaching customers outside of South Korea, you may qualify for this support.
What you get
Participants receive marketing budget support intended to assist with global expansion. This assistance is designed to help offset the various costs associated with introducing your products or services to new international audiences, providing you with the financial breathing room needed to scale your reach.
What it costs you
This is not a fully funded grant. To participate, you must provide matching funds. This means that while the program covers a portion of your marketing expenses, you are responsible for contributing your own capital to cover the remaining balance of the costs.
The catch to know
The most important thing to prepare for is the requirement for proof of export potential. You cannot simply apply based on intent alone; you must be able to demonstrate that your business has a realistic and viable opportunity to succeed in the global marketplace.
How to apply
- Assess your current business operations to determine your readiness for international trade.
- Compile documentation that serves as proof of your company's export potential.
- Calculate the amount of matching funds you will need to provide from your own budget.
- Monitor the official KOTRA channels for the next available application period to submit your request.
