Eligible Singapore SMEs can receive up to 50% support on a branding project through Enterprise Singapore’s EDG. Creativeans is a Registered Management Consultant.
{ What is EDG? }
The Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) is a Singapore government grant, administered by Enterprise Singapore, that helps local companies build stronger business capabilities. Branding qualifies under its Core Capabilities pillar as strategic brand and marketing development. Eligible SMEs can receive up to 50% support on qualifying project costs, subject to approval by Enterprise Singapore. Creativeans is a Singapore brand and design consultancy and a Registered Management Consultant, which means our brand strategy and identity work can form the consultancy component of an EDG project. We have delivered more than 300 brand transformations using our proprietary BrandBuilder® and EDIT Design Thinking® methodologies. If your company has outgrown its brand and you want to know whether your project could qualify, message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you honestly before you commit.

07{ FAQ }
The EDG supports Singapore companies that want to upgrade, innovate, or expand. It funds qualifying project costs under three pillars: Core Capabilities, Innovation and Productivity, and Market Access. Qualifying costs are third-party consultancy fees, software and equipment, and internal manpower directly tied to the project. The grant is not paid upfront. It works on a reimbursement basis, so the company funds the project first and claims the supported portion after the deliverables are completed and verified.
