Subsidies are provided for the purchase of equipment and other expenses necessary for implementing the formulated Business Continuity Plan (BCP).

Unforeseen events that could disrupt business activities, such as large-scale natural disasters or disruptions to supply chains due to international instability, can occur at any time. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular need to prepare a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to maintain or quickly restore core business activities, so as not to be forced to close down or downsize their operations due to delays in recovery.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Tokyo Metropolitan Small and Medium Enterprise Promotion Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “the Corporation”) are providing support not only in the formulation of plans but also in terms of expenses to promote effective business continuity measures. We are pleased to announce that applications for grants for fiscal year 2026 are now being accepted.
