◆ What is commercial area (commercial building) information?
Commercial information, covering approximately 2 million commercial establishments nationwide, is a key component of commercial information services for startups and management, including location selection, industry conversion, store history, competitive analysis, and marketing. To support successful location and industry selection for small businesses, the Small and Medium Business Administration (SMA) provides comprehensive commercial information across 43 categories, encompassing approximately 2 million items, by region and industry. Furthermore, users can utilize high-quality commercial information through a comprehensive commercial analysis service that collects and utilizes commercial information from the National Pension Service and private organizations (NICE Information Service, SKP, Smartro, Hyundai MNSoft, etc.).

◆ How can it be used?
General consumers can utilize commercial information to access a variety of services, including personalized store recommendations tailored to their consumption patterns. Furthermore, the convergence and integration of commercial information with similar information will lead to the emergence of new consulting and brokerage services and similar professions, such as startup coordinators, which is expected to reduce startup consulting costs by KRW 4.6 billion annually. In particular, aspiring entrepreneurs will be able to identify promising startups by leveraging commercial district analysis services that integrate business licensing data, business closure history, and regional distribution information with private data such as sales and floating population. Finally, if a marketing platform service specialized for local commercial districts is developed utilizing the open commercial information, it is expected to significantly contribute to the revitalization of traditional markets and commercial districts through customized marketing strategies tailored to the region.
