About certification of Safety Net Guarantee No. 4
Update date: April 1, 2024
Overview of Safety Net Guarantee No. 4
A system in which credit guarantee associations guarantee 100% of the loan amount separately from general guarantees as a financing support measure for small and medium-sized enterprises whose sales have decreased due to the occurrence of sudden disasters (natural disasters, etc.) is.
Specified matter
- COVID-19 infection
Specified period
- The designated period is until June 30, 2024
Note: Please note that from applications for certification made after October 1, 2020, the use of funds will be limited to refinancing (the format of the application form has also been changed).
Target SMEs
Small and medium-sized businesses that meet the following requirements
- The business must have been operating continuously for one year or more in the designated area (Inagi City).
- The corporation must have its head office, etc. in Inagi City. A sole proprietor must have a main business office in Inagi City.
- After being affected by the new coronavirus infection, as a general rule, the sales or sales volume for the most recent month (in the construction industry, the amount of completed construction work or backlog of orders; hereinafter referred to as "sales amount") is the same month of the previous year. Sales have decreased by more than 20% compared to the same period of the previous year, and sales for the next three months, including the next two months, are expected to decrease by more than 20% compared to the same period last year.
Relaxation of sales requirements for the past month
- If it is not appropriate to compare the sales amount for the "last month" with the sales amount for the same month of the previous year, it is possible to compare the average sales amount for the "last 6 months" and the average sales amount for the same period last year.
- The scope of the relaxation of requirements also includes small and medium-sized enterprises (excluding (1)) that are subject to the ``relaxation of the operation of certification standards.''
Relaxation of certification standards
We are relaxing the certification criteria for small and medium-sized businesses that fall under any of the following categories so that founders whose business stability is affected by the effects of the infectious disease can also use the system.
[Eligible small and medium-sized enterprises]
(1) The business history must be more than 3 months and less than 1 year and 1 month. (2) Due to the increase in stores since the previous year, it is difficult to obtain certification by simply comparing sales with the previous year.
