Conditions for receiving the subsidies include obtaining approval from the Prime Minister's office in case of business suspension or abolition, and submitting reports on the use of the subsidies.
The application and payment procedures involve submission of documents to the prefectural governor and the Prime Minister's office.
The subsidies can be paid in installments, and the final payment is made after the submission of a report on the use of the subsidies.
