ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT GRANT
Secure up to 70% funding for your business transformation
From automation and product development to overseas expansion, the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) supports projects that transform your business. We craft the strategic proposal you need to secure this competitive grant.
EDG is rigorous and difficult to get right. Here are the common reasons why:
Proposal Barrier
Beyond a simple quotation, you need a comprehensive project paper detailing your "AS-IS" state, "TO-BE" outcomes, and ROI analysis.
Consultant Trap
For consultancy projects, you must engage a certified management consultant (TR 43 or SS 680).
Financial Scrutiny
Enterprise Singapore assesses your financial viability. If your audited accounts show insolvency or weak cash flow, you need a strong justification to pass.
Audit Problems
EDG claims require an external auditor to verify expenses. If your invoices and timesheets aren't aligned with your Letter of Offer, your claim will be rejected.
We eliminate these risks before submission.

HAVE QUESTIONS?
Frequently Asked Questions
While harder, it is still possible. We need to show that your company is "going concern" and has the cash flow to fund the project upfront.
Yes, generally. Unless you have a very strong justification for a "Sole Source" provider, you should obtain comparable quotes to prove value-for-money.
It can, but usually only as part of a larger integrated solution (e.g., smart sensors for a custom software system). It does not cover basic laptops or furniture.
It typically takes 8 to 12 weeks for Enterprise Singapore to review and approve the application. You should plan your project timeline accordingly.
