EDGE Grant for Websites and IT in Singapore (PSG Replacement)

Quick answer: can EDGE pay for a website or IT?

Partly, and only for listed solutions. According to Enterprise Singapore's EDGE Grant page (as of October 2026):

• EDG, MRA and PSG ceased on 29 September 2026. New applications go to the EDGE Grant from 30 September 2026. Applications and projects already in progress under the old schemes are still processed.
• EDGE covers 8 business areas and over 150 activities. IT falls under Automation & Digitalisation.
• Total support is capped at S$100,000 per company per year, shared across all activities and refreshed on 1 April.
• It is paid as a reimbursement. You pay the vendor in full, finish the project, then claim.

The headline "up to 70% for SMEs" on the main page does not apply to IT. The EDGE FAQ says support is up to 50% for SMEs and up to 30% for non-SMEs. The 70% rate is for internationalisation and sustainability activities. The FAQ also says a company can use up to S$30,000 a year on single-function digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and pre-scoped equipment combined.

What changed from PSG to EDGE

If you read an older article about "PSG for websites", here is how the new scheme compares on the points that matter for a small business.

GoBusiness now shows a notice that Enterprise Singapore PSG solutions no longer appear in its directory from 30 September 2026, though PSG solutions run by other agencies remain listed. See the GoBusiness PSG page.

Which IT solutions are listed, and how much is covered

Each single-function solution has its own page with a cost cap and a support amount. These examples are taken from the activity pages on Enterprise Singapore's site in October 2026:

Three details on these pages change the maths:

• Supported costs are software costs, capped at 12 months. Ongoing fees after the first year are yours to pay.
• GST and maintenance costs are not supported.
• The project must be finished within 18 months of approval, and you submit a photo of the deployed software with its unique identifier at the end.

A simple brochure website is not obviously one of these activities. Use the BizSG recommender linked from the EDGE page to check your exact project before you plan around a grant.

Who is eligible

The single-function solution pages list the same core conditions. Your business must:

• be registered and operating in Singapore;
• have at least 30% ownership (direct or indirect) by Singapore citizens and/or permanent residents, based on the ultimate individual owners;
• not be a home-based business;
• not have started work, or paid any money or deposit to the vendor or anyone else, before submitting the application;
• not have applied before for support for the same solution;
• use the solution in Singapore.

To get the SME rate, the EDGE FAQ defines an SME as a company with group annual sales turnover of not more than S$100 million, or group employment of no more than 200 workers.

The home-based business rule rules out many sole proprietors and very small firms. Check it before you spend time collecting quotations.

How to apply, step by step

This is the process set out on the activity pages for single-function digital solutions:

1. Prepare a vendor quotation and a projection of the cost savings you expect in the year after the project.
2. Pick a pre-approved vendor and solution from IMDA's SMEs Go Digital list.
3. Ask the vendor for a quotation for your business.
4. Build the matching solution package on SMEs Go Digital (licences, professional services), so it matches the quotation exactly.
5. Sign in with your company's Corppass to confirm the package and get a package reference ID.
6. Apply on the Business Grants Portal with Corppass, using that reference ID. The activity pages say the application outcome comes in about 1 week.
7. Accept the Letter of Offer, then let the vendor start and pay them in full.
8. Complete the project and the deliverables, then submit your claim before the due date.

Enterprise Singapore says third-party companies are not allowed to apply for or manage the grant for you, and GoBusiness reminds companies not to share Corppass with vendors. A vendor who asks for your Corppass login is a red flag.

Grant money is paid to your bank by PayNow Corporate (within 14 working days of claim approval) or GIRO (up to eight weeks), according to the activity pages.

When a grant is not the cheaper option

A 50% grant sounds like half price, but compare the total cost over two or three years, not the first invoice:

• Year two onwards is unsupported. A grant-listed package priced higher than the open market can cost more once the first 12 months are over.
• Only the listed package counts. If you need something slightly different, the extra work is outside the grant.
• Timing. You cannot start until you apply, and you wait for approval and then for reimbursement. If a broken website or a security gap is costing you sales now, waiting has a price too.
• Lock-in. Check contract length, who owns the domain and accounts, and what happens to your data if you leave.

Ask each vendor for the price without the grant as well as with it. If the gap between the grant package and a comparable non-grant option is small, the simpler route may be the better deal.

Do it yourself or get help?

For a grant-supported solution, you deal directly with an IMDA pre-approved vendor and apply yourself on the Business Grants Portal. IT Sorted is not a pre-approved vendor, so our work cannot be claimed under EDGE. Our prices are full, published prices with no grant.

Where we are useful is the work around a grant, or the jobs a grant does not cover. A Security Health Check (S$290) gives you a written list of what actually needs fixing before you shop for grant-listed security products. A Business Website (S$1,490, up to 6 pages) is a fixed-price alternative you can start this week, on accounts in your name.
