EDGE Grant for Software and ERP: What Replaced PSG in Singapore

Since 30 September 2026, the main Enterprise Singapore grant for ERP and business software is EDGE. It replaced the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG), the Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) and the Market Readiness Assistance grant (MRA). SMEs can receive up to 50% support, within S$100,000 a year per company, of which up to S$30,000 can go to digital solutions and integrated enterprise systems such as an ERP (Enterprise Singapore, EDGE FAQ, retrieved 10 October 2026).

Older pages about the PSG grant may still describe it as open. It is not, for new applications. If you were planning to fund a system this financial year, the route, the caps and the timelines have changed, and a few of the rules can cost you the grant if you miss them.

This guide covers what EDGE funds for software, how the caps work, the vendor rules for ERP, and the order of steps that keeps an application valid. It reflects Enterprise Singapore’s FAQ as of 10 October 2026. The scheme is new, so check the source before you commit.

What changed on 30 September 2026

EDGE brings three schemes into one grant. In Enterprise Singapore’s words, “EDGE streamlines EDG, MRA and PSG into a single grant”, and “after 30 September 2026, no new application will be accepted under these schemes”.

Work already in motion is protected. Applications submitted under EDG, MRA or PSG before the cut-off continue to be assessed. If you already have an approved PSG project under way, Enterprise Singapore says it will be supported until completion.

What changes is everything new. A company planning an ERP, a CRM or an HR system from October 2026 onwards applies under EDGE, on the Business Grants Portal, under EDGE’s caps.

How much EDGE covers for software

For software, the number that matters is the S$30,000 sub-cap, not the S$100,000 headline. Enterprise Singapore states that “within the S$100,000 grant cap, the company can use up to S$30,000 on single-function digital solutions” and integrated enterprise systems. The caps reset each year on 1 April and run to 31 March.

Two consequences follow. First, a large ERP project will not be half-funded just because the support rate is 50%. On an S$80,000 ERP quotation, 50% would be S$40,000, but the sub-cap limits support to S$30,000 in that grant year. Second, money spent on software comes out of the same S$100,000 the company may want for other activities, such as overseas expansion, in the same year.

There is also a count limit. Selected single-function digital solutions and integrated enterprise systems are “limited to one application per UEN”. If you plan to digitise in stages, decide which system goes first rather than splitting it into several small applications, and confirm with Enterprise Singapore whether a later phase can be funded.

The FAQ words the sub-cap slightly differently in two places. One answer groups it with pre-scoped equipment, and another with selected automation activities. If equipment or automation is part of your plan, confirm with Enterprise Singapore which bucket it falls into.

When an ERP counts as an integrated enterprise system

An ERP qualifies as an integrated enterprise system when it includes at least three core functions from Enterprise Singapore’s list:

• Asset Management
• Field Service Management
• Financial Management
• Fleet Management
• Human Resources Management
• Manufacturing Management
• Project Management
• Supply Chain & Inventory Management
• Sales & Customer Relationship Management

A system covering finance, inventory and sales touches three of the listed functions, but Enterprise Singapore decides whether a specific package qualifies. Deciding which functions to buy first is the more useful question, because applications in this category are limited to one per UEN. If you are unsure how much to buy now and how much to add later, our guide on when to customise an ERP and when to leave it alone sets out a simple test.

For single-function solutions, such as an accounting package or an HR tool on its own, Enterprise Singapore points to IMDA’s SMEs Go Digital platform for the breakdown of which cost components are supportable.

Pre-approved vendor or your own vendor

You can use a pre-approved vendor’s packaged solution. Enterprise Singapore says to use your own vendor “if you can’t find a suitable pre-approved vendor”. The difference is mostly time. Enterprise Singapore estimates processing at about 1 week for a pre-approved vendor and about 10 weeks for a vendor that is not pre-approved. An own-vendor solution must still include at least three core functions.

That 10-week figure matters for planning. If your year-end, a new warehouse or an audit is driving the timeline, count backwards: ten weeks of assessment, then implementation, then a period of running both systems. With your own vendor, submit at least 10 weeks plus your implementation and parallel-run time ahead of go-live. A system that must be live by 1 July 2027, with three months of implementation, should be submitted by mid-January 2027. You may buy after submitting, but you carry the cost if the application is rejected.

When comparing vendors, ask the same questions whether or not they are pre-approved:

• Which of the nine core functions does the package actually cover on day one?
• What does the quotation include, and which items are professional services such as setup, data migration and training? Enterprise Singapore notes these “may be supported as part of the solution package”.
• Who owns the configuration and any custom code when the contract ends?
• Can it run in the cloud or on your own servers, if your security policy needs that?

The grant funds a share of the cost. It does not make a poor fit a good one. Choose the system first, then check how the grant applies to it.

Who is eligible

EDGE supports business entities registered in Singapore with at least 30% ownership by Singapore citizens or permanent residents. According to the FAQ, entities such as non-profits, societies and statutory boards are not supported.

The SME support rates apply to companies with group annual sales turnover of no more than S$100 million, or group employment of no more than 200 workers. Note the word “group”. If you are part of a larger group, check the group figures rather than the local entity’s alone.

The order of steps that keeps an application valid

The most expensive mistake is starting too early. Enterprise Singapore does not support retrospective applications. An application counts as retrospective if the company “has started work or made any payment or deposit to a supplier, vendor, or third party prior to application submission”. Paying a deposit even a week before you submit makes the application retrospective.

The safe order looks like this:

1. Choose the system and get a formal quotation. Make sure it lists the core functions and the professional services separately.
2. Check eligibility. Confirm the 30% local ownership and your group size.
3. Submit on the Business Grants Portal. You need the Corppass roles “BGP Preparer” and “BGP Acceptor” to submit.
4. Only then sign and pay, if you accept the risk. You may buy the solution after submitting and before approval, but if the application is rejected, the company bears the cost.
5. Claim when the window opens. For digital solutions, integrated enterprise systems and pre-scoped equipment, claims open from 1 November 2026.

If anything in your situation is unusual, such as a group structure or a mixed software and equipment project, ask Enterprise Singapore or the Business Grants Portal helpdesk before you submit, not after.

Planning the project around the grant

Treat the grant as a constraint on scope and timing, not as the reason for the project. The S$30,000 sub-cap and the one-application limit reward a clear first phase: the functions your team will use every day from the first month. The same thinking applies to any first version, as we explain in MVP or MLP.

Whether any package or quotation, ours included, qualifies under EDGE is Enterprise Singapore’s decision, so check that before you commit. On the build side, our ready-made ERP runs the standard finance, procurement, inventory and sales flows from day one, and we customise only once your team has used it and found where it falls short.
