How to Apply for PSG Grant: Step-by-Step With Screenshots

Before You Start: What You Need to Prepare

Applying for the PSG Grant on the Business Grants Portal (BGP) is straightforward, but having your documents ready before you begin saves significant time and prevents delays. Many applications stall because business owners start the process without the right paperwork.

Here is everything you need to prepare before starting your PSG application:

• Corppass account — Your company's Corppass administrator must grant you access to the Business Grants Portal. If you do not have Corppass set up, visit corppass.gov.sg to register (this alone can take 1-2 weeks)
• ACRA business profile — A recent BizFile+ extract showing your company registration details, shareholders, and directors
• Vendor quotation — A detailed quotation from your chosen PSG pre-approved vendor. This must clearly state the solution name, package details, and total cost
• Latest financial statements — Your most recent audited or unaudited financial statements to verify you meet the turnover criteria
• Bank account details — Your company's bank account information for grant reimbursement
• Brief description of your business needs — A short paragraph explaining why you need the digital solution

Ensure you have NOT signed any contract or made any payment to the vendor before submitting your application. This is the most common reason for PSG rejection.

Step 1: Log In to the Business Grants Portal

Navigate to businessgrants.gov.sg and click on the "Log in with Corppass" button. Use your Corppass credentials to authenticate. If you are logging in for the first time, you may need to complete a brief company profile setup within the portal.

Once logged in, you will see the BGP dashboard. Look for the "Get New Grant" button, usually located on the main dashboard page. Click it to start a new grant application. From the list of available grants, select "Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG)".

The portal will now guide you through a series of forms. The entire online application typically takes 30 to 45 minutes to complete if you have all documents ready.

Step 2: Complete the Company Profile Section

The first section of the application requires you to verify your company details. Most of this information is pre-populated from your ACRA records, but you need to review and confirm the following:

1. Company name and UEN — Verify these are correct
2. Registered address — Must be a Singapore address
3. Primary business activity (SSIC code) — Select the code that best describes your business
4. Company size — Confirm your number of employees and annual turnover
5. Shareholding information — Verify that at least 30% of shares are held by Singapore citizens or PRs
6. Contact person details — Provide the name, email, and phone number of the primary contact for this application

Double-check all information before proceeding, as errors in this section can cause your application to be returned for clarification, adding weeks to the process.

Step 3: Select Your Solution and Vendor

In the Solution and Vendor section, you will need to specify the exact PSG-approved package you are applying for. The portal provides a searchable list of all pre-approved solutions.

Use the search function to find your chosen vendor. Filter by solution category (e.g., "Website Development" or "E-Commerce") to narrow down the options. When you find your vendor and package, select it and the system will automatically populate the approved grant amount and support level.

Key details to fill in at this stage:

• Solution provider name — The pre-approved vendor you have chosen
• Package name and number — Must match exactly with the pre-approved listing
• Total project cost — Must match the vendor quotation
• Proposed start date — When you plan to begin the project (must be after expected approval date)
• Expected completion date — When the website or solution will be fully deployed

Make sure the quotation from your vendor matches exactly with the pre-approved package details on BGP. Any discrepancy will flag your application for manual review.

Step 4: Upload Supporting Documents and Submit

The final section requires you to upload supporting documents and make declarations. Upload the following:

1. Vendor quotation (PDF) — The detailed quotation with line items matching the PSG package
2. Latest financial statements (PDF) — Audited or management accounts for the most recent financial year
3. ACRA business profile (PDF) — Recent extract from BizFile+
4. Any additional documents — Some solution categories may require extra documentation

You will also need to complete several declaration checkboxes confirming that your company meets the eligibility criteria, you have not started the project yet, and all information provided is accurate. Read each declaration carefully before checking the box.

Once everything is uploaded and all declarations are checked, click "Submit". You will receive a confirmation email with your application reference number. Save this for future tracking.

Step 5: After Submission — What to Expect

After submitting your application, the typical process follows this timeline:

• Week 1-2: EnterpriseSG reviews your application for completeness. If documents are missing, they will email you a Request for Information (RFI)
• Week 3-4: Assessment of your application against eligibility criteria and budget guidelines
• Week 4-6: Approval decision. You will receive an email notification with the outcome
• If approved: Log in to BGP to view and accept your Letter of Offer within 30 days
• After acceptance: You can now sign the contract with your vendor and commence the project

During the waiting period, do NOT start work with the vendor or make any payments. If you need to check the status of your application, log in to BGP and view it under "My Applications."

Once your website is completed and you have paid the vendor in full, return to BGP to submit your claim with the vendor's invoice, payment receipt, and evidence that the solution is live (such as a screenshot of your website). EnterpriseSG typically processes claims within 4 to 6 weeks, after which the grant amount is deposited into your company bank account.

What happens if my PSG application is rejected?

If your application is rejected, EnterpriseSG will provide a reason in the rejection notice. Common reasons include not meeting the 30% local shareholding requirement, exceeding the turnover cap, or submitting after a contract has been signed. In most cases, you can reapply after addressing the issue. There is no penalty for a rejected application.

Can someone else apply for PSG on behalf of my company?

Yes, you can authorise an employee, consultant, or even your vendor to submit the application on your behalf. However, they must have Corppass access to your company's BGP account. The company director or authorised signatory must still sign off on the declarations.

Is there a deadline for PSG applications in 2026?

The PSG grant does not have a fixed annual deadline — it accepts applications on a rolling basis throughout the year. However, funding allocations can change based on government budget announcements. It is always better to apply sooner rather than later, as support levels may be adjusted in future budget reviews.
