Common Pitfalls with EnterpriseSG Grants
1. Wrong grant for your need
- PSG only covers pre-approved solutions. Custom projects need EDG.
- MRA only covers new markets where you have no existing presence.
- EEG only covers equipment on the pre-approved list (Base Tier).
2. Paying before approval
- The most common rejection reason across all EnterpriseSG grants. Do not sign contracts, make deposits, or pay invoices before receiving your Letter of Offer.
3. Entity name mismatch
- All quotes and invoices must match your exact ACRA-registered business name and UEN. A mismatch causes automatic rejection.
4. Missing the annual cap (PSG)
- PSG has a S$30,000 cap per grant year (1 Apr—31 Mar). Multiple PSG applications in the same year share this cap.
5. Insufficient project documentation (EDG)
- EDG requires detailed project plans with measurable outcomes. Vague proposals get rejected.
6. Confusing EFS with a grant
- EFS is a government-backed loan, not a grant. You must repay the principal and interest.
