The Small Business Sustainability Subsidy can be used for website production
Under the Small Business Sustainability Subsidy (Shokibo Jigyosha Jizokuka Hojokin), website-related expenses such as a company website are eligible for a subsidy of up to ¥300,000. You cannot apply for website-related expenses alone; the application is made as part of a broader effort such as expanding your sales channels.
Note that the former IT Introduction Subsidy cannot be used for website production.
Merci works with you from application through the results report
We plan the eligible initiative and the production work together
Because Merci produces a great many websites, we can plan the initiatives that qualify for the subsidy together with the actual website and flyer content, right from the start.
We help you build the business plan and write the application
The business plan is the most laborious part of an application, and we build it with you as we listen to your story. We then continue to help you write the application itself.
After approval, we stay with you through production and the results report
Once you are approved, we produce your website and flyers as planned and help you through the results report required to receive the subsidy.

Results report
Subsidy calls for applications are held several times a year, and deadlines differ for each round. Depending on the program, it can take several months from the call for applications to approval. We will give you the latest schedule and a guide to the timeline when you consult us.
For initiatives other than websites, our application support is also ¥0
When you ask Merci to carry out a subsidy-backed initiative such as flyers and brochures, video, online advertising, or system development, our application support is ¥0 and there is no success fee either.
FAQ
If you start an initiative before the subsidy approval is decided, it may not be eligible. Please consult us before production begins.
The former IT Introduction Subsidy does not cover website production. We guide you toward the Small Business Sustainability Subsidy instead.
Even if your application isn't approved, you pay nothing for our application support. We can also help you reapply under a different program, or produce your site without using a subsidy.
It's completely free. Whenever you ask us to carry out a subsidy-backed initiative, not only website production but also production work and marketing support, application support is ¥0 and there is no success fee.
Depending on the program, it can take several months. We will explain the timeline in detail when you consult us.
