Industry Funding

Hong Kong's economy and every trade have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the beauty industry is no exception.

To support the industry — whether you run a beauty school, a beauty device distributor or agent, a retailer, or a beauty salon — the Union will do its utmost to help members apply for the government's SME Marketing Fund (EMF) and the BUD Special Fund. Successful applicants for these two funds can receive up to HK$4.8 million, greatly easing the pressure of doing business during the pandemic. The Union will also hold online marketing seminars, teaching how to open an online shop at zero cost and find new customers online without spending a cent.
