Before You Use a Subsidy to Adopt AI, Check Whose Name the Account and Data Are In: Reading Taiwan's Two MOEA Subsidy Tracks Clause by Clause
On 15 September 2026 Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs said its Industrial Competitiveness Advisory Teams have helped more than 13,000 companies adopt AI; the 9,249 figure announced in July covered the period up to the end of June. Of the headline "up to NT$420,000 per company", NT$190,000 is a diagnostic fee paid through sub-sector advisory teams, and the AI tool subsidy a company can actually recover is capped at NT$100,000. This post reads the rules of the manufacturing track and the commerce and services track clause by clause: the account must be registered under your own Unified Business Number, vendors may not register it for you, and your data must be downloadable in full, free and at any time. It lists ten questions to ask before signing and explains where the AI Basic Act actually stands.
How Much of Claude for Small Business Works in Taiwan? 37 Connectors and 43 Workflows, Checked One by One
On 15 September 2026 Anthropic expanded Claude for Small Business to 43 workflows and 37 connectors, and every workflow waits for the owner's approval by default. But most of the payments and payroll tools on the list do not serve Taiwan: Stripe, Square and Shopify Payments do not accept Taiwanese merchants, Gusto is a US payroll system, and LINE, ECPay, Shopee and Taiwan e-invoicing are absent. This post checks what connects, what does not, and why the approval mode is worth copying.
Digital Asset Inventory Checklist: 10 Checks You Can Do Yourself (Free)
No cost, no technical background, under an hour: find out whose name your shop's digital assets are in. Ten checks: domain registrant and expiry, SSL expiry, hosting and back-end access, Google Business Profile owner, Facebook Page admins, Instagram binding and two-factor, LINE Official Account admins, marketplace accounts, email and domain mailboxes, and who holds the passwords. Each with how to check, the red flags, and the one step to take now. Anything you cannot trace is itself an answer.
Digital Legacy Planning for Shop Owners: Handing Down Accounts, Domains and Pages to the Next Generation
Estate plans cover the house, the policies and the savings, and almost never the shop's domain that expires in three months, the Facebook page with one admin, or the LINE account tied to one phone. After ten years as a financial advisor I split digital legacy into two kinds: platforms with a self-service legacy feature (Facebook legacy contact, Google Inactive Account Manager, Apple Legacy Contact) and everything without one (domains, LINE Official Accounts, most SaaS), which only advance planning can protect. Five things to do now, two things never to do.
Your Domain Is Registered to a Former Employee or Vendor: How to Check, Get It Back, Keep It Renewed, and Stop It Happening Again
The website has run for ten years, but the domain is registered to an employee who left five years ago, or to the web vendor that built the site. In order: look up who the registrant is with WHOIS and when it expires; understand what happens after expiry for .tw and .com domains; weigh the three routes (they cooperate, they have vanished, you start over with a new domain); and set up four things so this never comes back.
Facebook Page, Google Business Profile, LINE Official Account: How to Transfer Ownership and Admin Rights (Shop Owner's Edition)
The Page admin is your marketing provider's account, the Business Profile owner is the former manager's Gmail, the LINE Official Account was set up on your son's phone. One section per platform: how to see who owns it today, how to add a second administrator (the single most important preventive step), how to hand primary ownership to someone else, and what to do in the three common dead ends: the original admin has vanished, the account is disabled, or a personal account is tied to the shop. Steps checked against each platform's official help pages; where a step could not be verified, only the principle is given.
Whose Name Is Your Shop's Digital Assets In? The First Thing to Do Before You Retire
The domain is registered to an employee who left. Only the marketing provider has the Facebook password. The LINE account is on your son's phone. These are your shop's assets, and not one of them is in your hands. After ten years as a financial advisor, I brought the first step of every plan, the inventory, to digital assets: whose name, who holds the keys, when it expires. Includes how Ultra Lab's Digital Asset Inventory works and its three rules.
