1. What is the Franchise HQ Innovation Support Program?

A government program you can apply for just by submitting a business plan.

The Franchise HQ Innovation Support Program is a government program that covers part of the cost of building a workplace improvement system at headquarters. You can apply simply by submitting a short business plan and receive up to KRW 20 million, so even HQs that found adoption costs a burden can build a system affordably.

The program's goal is to support HQs in building systems that improve employees' working conditions and raise work efficiency at the same time. By funding part of what HQ invests in its systems, the government aims to create an environment that lifts both employee satisfaction and productivity.

2. Key benefits of the funding

The government covers a set share of your HQ system build costs.

Here are the key benefits HQ can gain from this program.

The funding goes toward creating an environment that raises both employee satisfaction and work efficiency. It gives HQ a foothold to commit, at a reasonable cost, to the system adoption it had been putting off because of the operating burden.

3. Starting your work innovation with FDAM

Adopt it alongside the government program to build your HQ system without the burden.

Among the systems HQ can adopt through this program, FDAM is the most practical choice. Built on experience working with about 500 brands, its modules reflect how headquarters actually work, so you can use it in a familiar flow right after adoption. HQs that adopt FDAM through this program also get the following five benefits.

1) A deep discount on the monthly fee

While the government program covers part of the system build cost, you can also run FDAM at a deeply discounted monthly fee. With much lower up-front costs, even HQs that have been putting off adoption can get started without a heavy burden.

2) Real-time management of franchise inquiries

By linking your brand website with FDAM, franchise inquiries are automatically logged in HQ's franchise sales module the moment they arrive. You can see inflows by channel and campaign on the same screen and quickly get a sales routine running that leads into consultations and contracts.

3) E-contracts with no limit on contract count

FDAM's e-contracts come with no limit on the number of contracts. Even as contract volume grows with your franchise expansion, you can handle it in a digital flow at no extra cost. You also gain an environment where contracts can be checked and managed from anywhere at HQ, without the hassle of paper.

4) Digital pre-disclosure documents

You can easily send the pre-disclosure documents that the Franchise Business Act requires HQ to provide to prospective franchisees by email, text message, or KakaoTalk. The system automatically records which prospect received which document and when, and even whether they opened it, raising the consistency and credibility of HQ operations.

5) Consulting

Beyond building the system, we also provide consulting to restructure HQ logistics. We help design how HQ should run the system for the greatest effect and an operating plan suited to your HQ. An AI assistant, the first integrated into a Korean franchise ERP, also helps support HQ decision-making.

4. How does the application process work?

The application process is simpler than you might think. Prepare and submit a business plan, and once the regional center reviews and approves it, you move on to applying for the advance payment and building the system. When the system build is complete, you finish by applying for the remaining funds.

Being able to receive up to KRW 20 million through a simple process makes this a great opportunity for anyone considering an HQ system. We'll walk you through the application process and how to make the most of it for your HQ during a sales consultation.

5. Why consider applying now?

The franchise industry tends to see more resignations and turnover at headquarters than other industries. In this environment, innovating the work environment becomes a deciding factor that raises both employee job satisfaction and loyalty. A well-organized work environment brings lower turnover, less work stress, and greater HQ operating efficiency.

With FDAM, HQ's work systems as a whole get organized, and repetitive tasks such as document management and contract signing are handled in a digital flow. Employees gain more confidence and satisfaction in their work, and HQ gets an environment that lowers turnover and deepens engagement over the long term.

Ultimately, when employees work in a better environment, HQ's operating efficiency rises too, naturally expanding HQ's potential for growth.
