Singapore has more SME support than most owners use — the hard part is knowing which grant fits. Here is the 2026 map, in plain English, so you can find the right one fast.
Note on accuracy: grant support levels, caps and timelines change (and 2026 brings the new EDGE consolidation). The figures below reflect what has been announced; confirm the current position on EnterpriseSG’s Business Grants Portal before applying.
The grants at a glance
| Grant | Best for | Typical support |
|---|---|---|
| EDG | Capability projects — strategy, finance, process, people | Up to 50% (SME) |
| PSG | Adopting pre-approved productivity tools & equipment | Up to 50%, annual cap |
| MRA | Expanding into overseas markets | Up to ~70%, capped per market |
| SFEC | Offsetting workforce & transformation costs | A credit (redesigned for 2026) |
| Startup SG Founder | First-time founders starting a new venture | Capital grant + mentorship |
| EDGE (2026) | Consolidates EDG + PSG + MRA into one application | Broadened; confirm at launch |
Enterprise Development Grant (EDG)
Co-funds capability-building projects — business strategy, financial management, process, human capital, and growth into new markets. This is the grant behind most consulting-led engagements. See our full EDG guide.
Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG)
Helps you adopt a specific pre-approved tool — accounting software, a booking or POS system, or off-the-shelf AI tools. Fast route when you already know the solution you want. It does not fund custom strategy work.
Market Readiness Assistance (MRA)
For going overseas — market set-up, promotion and business development in a new market, capped per market. 2026 raised the internationalisation co-funding level, making expansion more affordable.
SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC)
Not a project grant but a credit that offsets your costs on eligible workforce and transformation programmes. SFEC is being redesigned for 2026 with a fresh credit — worth checking your position and any deadlines on the current credit.
Startup SG Founder
For first-time founders — a capital grant with co-matching plus mentorship through an accredited partner. This sits at the very start of the journey, before the capability grants become relevant.
EDGE — the 2026 consolidation
The big change: EnterpriseSG is combining the EDG, PSG and MRA into a single grant called EDGE, with one application. The existing schemes stay open until it launches.
Start from the business problem, not the grant. Once the project is clear, the right scheme is usually obvious — and often more than one applies in sequence (build capability with one, adopt the tools it needs with another, expand overseas with a third).
The short version
EDG builds capability, PSG adopts tools, MRA goes overseas, SFEC offsets transformation costs, Startup SG Founder backs new founders — and EDGE consolidates the first three in 2026. Pick by what you are trying to achieve, and confirm current figures on the Business Grants Portal.
