The PSG Grant for ERP in Singapore (2026)
Last researched: 2 September 2026. The grant rules are taken from Enterprise Singapore’s PSG page and FAQ, checked on that date. Pre-approval was checked against the GoBusiness PSG solutions directory on that date, and package prices come from the directory and from partner pages, labelled as such. Enterprise Singapore has announced that the PSG will be folded into a new scheme called EDGE in the second half of 2026; as at our research date it had not launched.
The Productivity Solutions Grant pays half the cost of a pre-approved software package, up to S$30,000 a year, and for a Singapore SME buying an ERP it is often the difference between a S$50,000 first year and a S$25,000 one. It is also the most misunderstood part of an ERP purchase here. The grant is attached to a package on a government list, not to a product; the package has a fixed scope that may be narrower than what the business needs; the money is paid after the fact, on a claim; and the single most common way to lose it is to sign or pay before the application is submitted. This guide sets out the rules as Enterprise Singapore publishes them, which ERP and accounting products are sold as pre-approved packages and by whom, what the grant does not cover, how the claim works, and what the EDGE consolidation announced in Budget 2026 means for anyone planning a purchase in the next year.
It is part of our Singapore ERP series. The Singapore ERP buyer’s guide compares the systems and notes which are PSG-eligible, and the Singapore ERP cost guide shows what the grant does to the five-year numbers.
Key takeaways
- The PSG funds up to 50% of the cost of a pre-approved solution, capped at S$30,000 per company per financial year running 1 April to 31 March. The 50% rate has applied since 1 April 2023; it was 70% in the year before that.
- To qualify, a company must be registered and operating in Singapore, have at least 30% local shareholding, and have either group annual sales of S$100 million or less or 200 or fewer employees, on Enterprise Singapore’s page; GoBusiness’s PSG page now states the 30% local shareholding test only for selected solutions. The solution must be used in Singapore.
- Apply on the Business Grants Portal with Corppass before making any payment or deposit. Enterprise Singapore states that retrospective applications are not supported, and processing takes about six weeks.
- SAP Business One, Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage 300, Odoo, Synergix, HashMicro, Xero, QuickBooks, AutoCount, ABSS and Million are all sold as pre-approved packages by named Singapore partners. NetSuite is not, and neither are SAP S/4HANA or Oracle Fusion.
- The grant covers the package as listed: licence, setup and training. Customisation, administrative fees and anything outside the package scope are excluded, and the package is meant to be deployed with no customisation.
- Budget 2026 announced that PSG, EDG and MRA will be merged into a single scheme, EDGE, launching in the second half of 2026 and open to non-SMEs. Enterprise Singapore says the existing grants remain available until it launches; funding levels under EDGE had not been published as at 2 September 2026.
The rules as Enterprise Singapore publishes them
Enterprise Singapore describes the PSG as support for SMEs adopting pre-scoped IT solutions and equipment to improve productivity, at up to 50% of eligible costs for local SMEs, with a maximum of S$30,000 per company. The cap applies per financial year, which for the grant runs from 1 April to 31 March. Eligible applicants must be business entities registered and operating in Singapore, with at least 30% local equity held directly or indirectly by Singapore citizens or permanent residents, and with either group annual sales turnover of not more than S$100 million or group employment of not more than 200 workers. The solution must be used in Singapore. Charities, institutions of public character, religious entities, voluntary welfare organisations, government agencies and their subsidiaries, and societies are not eligible (Enterprise Singapore, PSG, and PSG FAQ, checked 2 September 2026).
The support level has changed. From 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023 it was up to 70%, with 80% for pre-scoped food services and retail solutions, and from 1 April 2023 it fell to 50% (Metropolitan Management Services, corporate services firm, 5 April 2023). Partner pages that still quote 70% or 80% are out of date.
Two rules cause most rejections. First, the applicant must not have made payment or any form of deposit before the application is submitted; Enterprise Singapore states that retrospective applications are not supported and that proceeding before approval means claims may be rejected. Second, for selected IT solutions the grant is limited to one application per UEN, so a company cannot fund the same category twice. Applications are made on the Business Grants Portal using Corppass, each complete application usually takes six weeks to process, and the Letter of Offer must be accepted by a portal user with the Acceptor role assigned by the company’s Corppass administrator. There is also a holding period of one year from approval of the final claim, during which the solution is expected to remain in use (Enterprise Singapore, PSG FAQ, checked 2 September 2026).
How pre-approved solutions work
The grant attaches to a specific package listed on the government’s solution repository, which Enterprise Singapore points to on GoBusiness, rather than to a product name. Each listing is a vendor, a product, a version, a user count and a fixed scope, typically the licence or subscription, implementation and training. IMDA’s SMEs Go Digital programme, which feeds the list for digital solutions, describes more than 300 pre-approved solutions and offers free first-time digital advisory through its CTO-as-a-Service platform (IMDA, CTO-as-a-Service). The GoBusiness PSG directory held 569 listings when we read it on 2 September 2026, each with the vendor, the package names, the total and qualifying package costs and the support level (GoBusiness PSG directory, primary).
Enterprise Singapore’s FAQ makes three points about scope that every ERP buyer should read before the demo. The pre-approved solutions are meant to be tried and tested and easy to deploy with no customisation. Only the actual purchase, lease or hire cost of the pre-approved package is supportable, and related administrative fees such as delivery and installation are not covered. And the package is what is funded, so a partner’s quote for work beyond it, such as custom reports, integrations or extra modules, is paid in full by the buyer (Enterprise Singapore, PSG FAQ). A corporate services firm’s 2026 guide puts it more bluntly: custom builds are not covered (Raffles Corporate Services, 1 June 2026).
How long a subscription the package funds is not stated on Enterprise Singapore’s pages. Packages we have seen bundle a twelve-month licence; one accounting firm’s PSG FAQ describes packages as twelve months of subscription plus setup, implementation and training, while a grant consultancy refers to minimum three-year commitments where the vendor requires them (361 Degree Consultancy; Grantla, 4 August 2026). The directory listings we read describe subscription or leasing as the mode of payment without stating a term, so ask the vendor what period the listed package covers.

Sources: The World Management, AFON, MSC Consulting, Aristou, J&P Consulting, Grantla, Acsolv, Port Cities, Synergix, HashMicro, Xero, Abundant Accounting, Intuit, AutoCount, Rockbell, all checked 2 September 2026, and the GoBusiness PSG directory, read the same day. Listings change, so confirm the package on GoBusiness before relying on it.
The table tells you two things about the market. The mid-market ERPs that Singapore partners have packaged for the grant are SAP Business One, Business Central and Sage 300, which is one reason those three dominate the SME segment here. And the grant stops at the mid-market: no NetSuite partner we found sells a pre-approved package, and the enterprise suites are not on the list at all. For those, the route is the EDG, covered below.
The World Management’s published SAP Business One packages illustrate how the arithmetic works. Its five-user Starter package is priced at S$23,760 with a qualifying cost of S$15,600, so the grant is worth up to S$7,800 and the buyer pays about S$15,960; its five-user Professional package on HANA in the cloud is S$54,140 with the same S$15,600 qualifying cost, so the grant is the same S$7,800 and the buyer pays S$46,340 (GoBusiness directory, SAP Business One by The World Management, read 2 September 2026). The qualifying cost is what the grant is calculated on, and it can be a good deal less than the invoice.
What the claim looks like
The grant is reimbursed, not paid up front. After approval and after the solution has been bought and used, the company submits a claim on the Business Grants Portal by the claim due date in its Letter of Offer, with the invoice, proof of payment, a usage report for IT solutions, and, for equipment, photographs of serial or licence numbers. The claimant confirms that it purchased or subscribed to the solution as approved, has used it, and has paid for it in full. One extension of the claim deadline is allowed; after the date lapses the claim cannot be submitted. Disbursement is about fourteen working days by PayNow Corporate, or up to eight weeks by GIRO (Enterprise Singapore, checked 2 September 2026). For an ERP, “used” means live, which is why the claim deadline and the implementation timeline need to be planned together; an accounting firm’s guide describes a typical window of six to twelve months (361 Degree Consultancy, accounting firm); Enterprise Singapore’s own page states only that the claim date is in the Letter of Offer.
The other grants
Enterprise Development Grant. The EDG supports up to 50% of eligible costs for local SMEs on projects in core capabilities, innovation and productivity, and market access, including third-party consultancy, software and equipment, and internal manpower. Eligibility is the same registration, 30% local equity and financial viability tests, applications take eight to twelve weeks, and claims are due within six months of project completion. The enhanced 70% rate for sustainability projects ended on 31 March 2026 (Enterprise Singapore, EDG, checked 2 September 2026). The EDG is project-based rather than package-based, so it is the route for an ERP that is not pre-approved, such as NetSuite, or for a project whose scope goes well beyond a package; the application is a business case for the process change, not a request to fund a subscription. Our NetSuite in Singapore guide covers the EDG route for that system.
SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit. The SFEC gives eligible employers a one-off credit of up to S$10,000 covering up to 90% of out-of-pocket costs on supported programmes, with PSG as an eligible enterprise transformation programme subject to a S$7,000 sub-cap. Final claims under the current scheme are due by 30 November 2026, and a redesigned SFEC starts on 1 December 2026 (Enterprise Singapore, SFEC FAQ, checked 2 September 2026). If you have unused SFEC and a PSG application in flight, the November deadline matters; Enterprise Singapore had not published the redesigned scheme’s terms when we checked.
InvoiceNow grants. IMDA’s GST InvoiceNow Transition Grants pay S$1,000 to SMEs adopting an InvoiceNow-Ready solution and S$5,000 to larger businesses integrating their own ERP through an accredited access point, claimable from 1 July 2026, and cannot be combined with other government funding for the same solution (IMDA, checked 2 September 2026). Many pre-approved ERP packages now bundle InvoiceNow setup, so check which grant applies to which part. Our InvoiceNow guide has the detail.
EDGE: what Budget 2026 changes
Budget 2026 announced two things about the PSG. First, it is being expanded to support more digital and AI-enabled solutions, so that every firm, regardless of size, can access them; IMDA’s Committee of Supply 2026 material puts the share of AI-enabled pre-approved solutions rising from 30% to 50% (IMDA, Committee of Supply 2026, 2 March 2026, primary; Grantla, 4 August 2026). Second, Enterprise Singapore is merging the PSG, EDG and MRA into a single scheme called EDGE, which will be available to all Singapore businesses including non-SMEs. Enterprise Singapore’s pages say EDGE launches in the second half of 2026 and that businesses can continue applying for the EDG, MRA and PSG on the Business Grants Portal in the meantime (Enterprise Singapore, Budget 2026, checked 2 September 2026).
As at 2 September 2026, EDGE had not launched and its funding percentages, project categories and documentation requirements had not been published; a Singapore ERP partner’s 12 August 2026 note says the same and advises against assuming an indefinite runway under the current rules (AFON, partner, 12 August 2026). For a buyer this means two things. If you have a pre-approved package in mind and the eligibility to match, applying under the PSG before EDGE launches gets you known terms. And if you are reading this after EDGE has launched, check whether pre-approved packages still exist in the same form and what the support level is, because the 50% and S$30,000 figures in this article belong to the PSG. Our buyer’s guide will be updated when Enterprise Singapore publishes the EDGE terms.
Why applications fail
The official basis for most rejections is in Enterprise Singapore’s own FAQ: paying or placing a deposit before submission, which a corporate services firm describes as instant disqualification with no exceptions; engaging the vendor and committing before approval; choosing a solution or a vendor that is not on the list; failing the 30% local shareholding test; and applying for a solution category the company has already been funded for (Smart Towkay, 30 March 2026; Raffles Corporate Services, 1 June 2026). Incomplete quotations and applications made under the wrong entity in a group are the other recurring causes. Timing against the financial year cap also matters: a company that has already used part of its S$30,000 in the year to 31 March will get less, and one planning two solutions can split them across two grant years.
The trap that is specific to ERP is scope. A pre-approved package is a fixed bundle, and a growing company’s requirements are rarely a fixed bundle. Partners are candid that the package scope can be narrower than what the business needs, and the excess is billed at full price. Compare the listed package against your requirements before you assume the grant covers the project, and get the partner to show you the package boundary in the quote. A S$15,000 rebate is a good reason to shortlist a system; it is not a good reason to choose one.
Three Singapore buyer scenarios
A 12-person trading company on spreadsheets and Xero, 100% locally owned, S$6 million turnover. Fully eligible. A five-user SAP Business One or Business Central package from a pre-approved partner will attract up to S$30,000 or half the qualifying cost, whichever is lower. Apply first, sign nothing, and time the go-live inside the claim window. Add the S$1,000 InvoiceNow grant if the package does not already bundle InvoiceNow, and check whether unused SFEC can cover part of the balance before 30 November 2026.
A S$40 million subsidiary of a Japanese group, 100% foreign-owned. Not eligible for the PSG or the EDG; the 30% local equity test is decisive. Budget the full price and focus the negotiation on the partner’s fees and the renewal terms instead. The InvoiceNow transition grant has no shareholding test, and IMDA’s FAQ says majority foreign-owned businesses may apply, so it may still be available (IMDA, primary).
A S$60 million regional group choosing NetSuite. No pre-approved package exists. The EDG can fund up to 50% of a project that redesigns finance processes or supports regional expansion, assessed case by case over eight to twelve weeks; the application is written around the business outcome, and partners with EDG approvals for ERP projects know how to structure it. Once EDGE launches, check whether the project route has changed.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the PSG worth?
Up to 50% of the qualifying cost of a pre-approved package, capped at S$30,000 per company per financial year from 1 April to 31 March.
Can I apply after I have bought the software?
No. Enterprise Singapore does not support retrospective applications, and any payment or deposit before submission disqualifies the claim.
Is NetSuite PSG pre-approved?
We have not found any partner selling NetSuite as a pre-approved package. The EDG is the possible route.
Does the grant cover customisation?
No. It covers the listed package; pre-approved solutions are meant to be deployed with no customisation, and administrative fees are excluded.
Is the PSG ending?
It is being merged with the EDG and MRA into a new scheme, EDGE, announced for the second half of 2026. Until EDGE launches, the PSG remains open on the Business Grants Portal.
How long does it take?
About six weeks to process a complete application, then the implementation, then a claim that pays out in about fourteen working days by PayNow Corporate.
