Government Grant Support for Brand Transformation & Overseas Growth

Our Proven Methodology for Building Impactful Brands

Singapore offers a range of grants and tax incentives to help local companies grow, innovate, and expand overseas. Navigating eligibility, paperwork, and audit requirements can slow projects down or, worse, lead to rejected applications.

Under the EDGE Grant, activities such as International Branding, Business Strategic Planning and Sustainability Strategy Development ask for the vendor’s SS 680 certification. Our Managing Director, Kimming Yap, holds a Registered Management Consultant (RMC) certification assessed against SS 680:2021. We have supported numerous Singapore SMEs through the application, project, and claims process across branding, business strategy, and market expansion projects.

Important update
EDG, MRA and PSG ceased on 29 September 2026. From 30 September, new applications move to EDGE, which provides up to 70% support for SMEs, depending on the activity, with an overall annual grant support cap of S$100,000 across activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions from leadership teams, brand managers, and organisations considering government grants.
Is the Enterprise Development Grant still available?

No. The Enterprise Development Grant ceased taking new applications on 29 September 2026. From 30 September 2026, new applications for business grant support are made under the EDGE Grant, which supports businesses across areas including strategy, innovation, digitalisation, internationalisation and sustainability.

How much funding can SMEs get for branding in Singapore?

Under the EDGE Grant, the International Branding activity supports up to 70% of qualifying costs for SMEs and up to 50% for non-SMEs, for a specific overseas market. Branding work aimed at the domestic market is not supported under this activity. Support is subject to Enterprise Singapore’s approval.

What grants are available for Singapore SMEs?

Singapore SMEs may access the EDGE Grant for a range of business growth and transformation activities, alongside other support schemes such as the Double Tax Deduction for Internationalisation for eligible overseas expansion activities. The most suitable support depends on your business needs and project scope.

Is my company eligible for the EDGE Grant?

Your company must be registered and operating in Singapore, with at least 30% local ownership (Singaporeans and/or Singapore PRs), and must not start work or pay any deposit before applying. Some activities add further criteria. Non-profit organisations, societies, statutory boards and similar entities cannot apply.

Can Creativeans help with the EDGE Grant application?

Yes, but your company submits and manages the application itself. Enterprise Singapore does not allow vendors or consultants to apply on your behalf. We scope the project and prepare the proposal, quotation and project documents you need. Our EDGE projects are led by our Managing Director, Kimming Yap, a Registered Management Consultant (RMC).
