The “Business Continuity Strengthening Plan” describes necessary items such as disaster countermeasures to be implemented in the future by SMEs recognizing their own disaster risks.
Under the "Small and Medium Enterprise Reinforcement Act", which came into effect in July 2019, a system was established in which the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry certifies the plan.
Small and medium-sized enterprises that have been approved for the plan can receive preferential treatment such as manufacturing subsidies.

For details on the “Business Continuity Strengthening Plan” certification system, please check the website of the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency.
