The trade landscape has become complicated. Businesses grapple with:
Margin Erosion
Sudden tariff hikes are eating into your profits. You can't just pass the cost to customers without losing them.
Supply Chain Chaos
Your current logistics route is now too expensive or risky. You need to move inventory or find new warehousing, but the switching costs are massive.
Legal Confusion
US customs laws are nuanced and complex, encompassing Section 301, Anti-Dumping, Countervailing Duties, and more.
Indirect Impact
Even if you don't export to the US directly, your clients do. If they get hit, your orders will be impacted.
The grant offsets restructuring cost. We structure it correctly.

This foundation helped them secure their first round of funding.
HAVE QUESTIONS?
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you should. This grant is designed for businesses that are indirectly impacted by the US’s tariffs. For example, if you supply components to a Singapore MNC that exports the final product to the US, and their orders to you have dropped, you qualify.
No. BizAdapt covers third-party costs (consultants, logistics providers, landlords). It does not cover internal manpower (for that, look at the Career Conversion Programme).
The grant is open until 6 October 2027. However, funds are limited and tariffs can change overnight. It is best to apply as soon as you identify a risk.
No. You pay the employee their full salary as per normal. ASME reimburses your company (the employer) at the end of the training period or in tranches, provided training milestones are met.
