Current answer · 5 October 2026

For new business-upgrading applications from 30 September 2026, start with EDGE. EDG, PSG and MRA have closed to new applications. SFEC and Startup SG Founder have separate purposes and rules.

EDGE: choose by the business activity

Map the need to the current activity—such as business strategy, financial management, digitalisation or internationalisation. Check the eligible costs, provider requirements and outcomes before choosing a solution.

EDGE support depends on the activity: generally up to 50% for SMEs and 30% for non-SMEs, with higher limits for eligible internationalisation and sustainability activities. Check the selected activity and written approval before budgeting for a grant.

EDG, PSG and MRA: existing submissions

These names remain relevant to projects submitted under the earlier schemes. Follow the existing submission or award terms and claim requirements. Historical grants and new EDGE projects should not be treated as interchangeable.

SFEC: workforce and transformation credit

Check the current credit balance, qualifying programme and completion and claim requirements. Do not assume a business grant automatically makes a project eligible for SFEC.

Startup SG Founder: starting a new venture

This is a separate route for eligible founders, with its own assessment and mentorship requirements. Confirm the current rules with the programme provider; an established SME’s capability project is a different situation.

Can you use more than one activity?

EDGE requires one application per activity. Its S$100,000 annual cap is shared across activities, with sub-caps for some digital and automation work. Do not seek duplicate support for the same expenses.

Before spending

Scope the project before committing. EDGE does not support retrospective applications: do not start work or make a payment or deposit before submitting. Submission is not approval; confirm the activity rules and project qualifying period before proceeding.

Advanced Consultancy supports project scoping and documentation. Your company submits and manages the application through its authorised Corppass users; a consultant cannot submit it for you.
