How do I accept a Letter of Offer on the Business Grants Portal?

The short answer

Only your company's Acceptor (the Corppass role for a managing director, chief executive or equivalent) can accept a Letter of Offer. On the Business Grants Portal, they open the approved grant under 'Updates required', read the letter, then click 'Accept'.

Last reviewed: 12 October 2026. Official sources: the Business Grants Portal (BGP) 2.0 FAQ on gowhere.gov.sg, the GoBusiness Business Grants Portal FAQ, and Enterprise Singapore's grant pages.

This page covers who can accept a Letter of Offer, the steps on each of the portal's two log-ins, what accepting commits your company to, and what to do if your chief executive officer (CEO) or managing director (MD) has changed. For the application itself, see our guide to applying on the Business Grants Portal.

Enterprise Singapore's Enterprise Development Grant (EDG), Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) grant and Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) closed to new applications on 29 September 2026, and its EDGE Grant opened on 30 September 2026 (EDGE Grant page, as of October 2026). Submissions made before the closure "will continue to be processed", the EDGE Grant page said as of October 2026. So an offer under one of those schemes can still arrive, and this page quotes their rules.

Key facts

• Who can accept: your company's Acceptor only. Viewers and Preparers are not authorised to accept.
• Where to log in: choose "BGP" or "BGP 2.0" on the Business Grants Portal page. As of 12 October 2026, the Business Grants Portal page at apply.gov.sg listed the EDGE Grant under the BGP 2.0 log-in. On that date, the same page listed other grants under the BGP log-in, including three that had closed to new applications: EDG, MRA and PSG.
• Where the offer sits: the approved grant, in the 'Updates required' tab on the 'My Grants' page, on both log-ins. The EDGE Grant page, its FAQ and the EDGE activity pages we read did not name the Letter of Offer screens.
• Deadline: the official pages said to accept "within the specified timeline". We found no official page that gives a fixed number of days. This comes from the PSG page, the MRA page and the Business Adaptation Grant (BizAdapt) page, as of October 2026.
• What you accept: "the terms and award of the grant", in the words of the BGP 2.0 FAQ.
• If the CEO or MD has changed: your company's Corppass Admin assigns the new CEO or MD the Acceptor role.

Who can accept a Letter of Offer

A Letter of Offer is the document that sets out the terms of an approved grant. Only your company's Acceptor in Corppass can accept it. Corppass is the login your company uses for government digital services. Viewers and Preparers are not authorised to accept the Letter of Offer (BGP 2.0 FAQ).

The official role description says the Acceptor "must have authority to accept the terms and conditions of the Letter of Offer on behalf of the company". It adds that the role "should be assigned to the company's Managing Director, Chief Executive Officer or equivalent".

So acceptance is your company's own act.

How your Corppass Admin assigns the Acceptor role is covered in our article on giving staff access to the Business Grants Portal.

Step by step, on each log-in

Before you start

• Your role: log in and look for the role label next to your account name, in the masthead at the top of the page. It should say Acceptor.
• Your log-in: on the Business Grants Portal page at apply.gov.sg, choose "BGP" or "BGP 2.0". Check which list your grant appears under. As of October 2026, the BGP 2.0 FAQ said the portal "will be moving to a new system (BGP 2.0) by end-2026", so the log-ins may change.
• Your deadline: find the date in your letter and accept within it. If the date is unclear, ask the agency processing your grant.

On the BGP 2.0 log-in

These steps come from the BGP 2.0 FAQ, as of October 2026. The EDGE Grant page, its FAQ and the EDGE activity pages we read did not name the Letter of Offer screens.

1. Go to the Business Grants Portal page at apply.gov.sg, choose "BGP 2.0", and log in with Corppass as the Acceptor.
2. Go to 'My Grants', open the 'Updates required' tab, and click "View offer" for the approved grant.
3. Download the Letter of Offer and read it in full.
4. Click 'Accept' to accept "the terms and award of the grant".

On the BGP log-in

These steps come from the GoBusiness Business Grants Portal FAQ, as of October 2026.

1. Go to the Business Grants Portal page at apply.gov.sg, choose "BGP", and log in with Corppass as the Acceptor.
2. Go to 'My Grants', open the 'Updates Required' tab, and click the approved grant.
3. Open the 'Letters And Documents' section to reach your Letter of Offer.
4. Download the Letter of Offer, read it, then click 'Accept'.

Screen names can change. If your screen differs, follow the current FAQ: the BGP 2.0 FAQ for the BGP 2.0 log-in, and the GoBusiness FAQ for the BGP log-in. The steps that come before the offer are in our guide to applying on the Business Grants Portal.

What you are agreeing to

When you click 'Accept', you accept "the terms and award of the grant". No official page we read publishes the full terms, so read your own letter in full before you accept.

This section summarises the official pages, scheme by scheme. It is not legal advice.

What the letter sets out

• What the official page says: the PSG page listed "Conditions of support", "Amount of grant awarded", "Project qualifying period" and "Name of Equipment/ IT solution". The MRA page listed the same first three items, then "Project deliverables". The EDG page said to refer to your Letter of Offer for the "Project Qualifying Period" and "Project Deliverables". The EDGE activity pages we read say that if an application is approved, a Letter of Offer is issued and it "must be accepted". They list what it includes: "Conditions of support", "Grant amount awarded", "Project qualifying period" and "Project deliverables" (one EDGE activity page, as of October 2026).
• Which scheme: PSG, MRA, EDG and EDGE.
• Source: the PSG page, the MRA page, the EDG page and one EDGE activity page, as of October 2026.

The project qualifying period is the period your letter sets for the project.

Finish within the project period

• What the official page says: the EDG page said: "Projects should have been completed within the specified qualifying period, and all project deliverables should have been achieved." The PSG FAQ said: "Project commencement and completion dates must be in accordance with the project qualifying period stipulated in the Business Grants Portal."
• Which scheme: EDG and PSG.
• Source: the EDG page and the PSG FAQ, as of October 2026.

Stay within the approved package and costs

• What the official page says: the PSG FAQ said: "No changes to vendor/solution package are allowed after application is approved." It also said: "Only expenses incurred for the pre-approved pre-scoped package as per LOF will be supported." The equipment or IT solution "should only be used by the applicant entity and not by a related party", and "The holding period for the equipment or IT solution is 1 year from the date of approval of the final claim." The MRA FAQ said: "MRA accepts only a single and final claim. All qualifying costs will be based on the quotation submitted during application stage." It added: "Additional funding requests to increase the original grant amount will not be considered."
• Which scheme: PSG and MRA.
• Source: the PSG FAQ and the MRA FAQ, as of October 2026.

Stay eligible

• What the official page says: the PSG FAQ said that if the company no longer met the eligibility criteria after approval, "the project claims will not be supported".
• Which scheme: PSG.
• Source: the PSG FAQ, as of October 2026.

Report outcomes

• What the official page says: the EDG claims checklist said the project report "needs to be submitted on company letterhead with each claim for disbursement". The PSG claim form asked you to "Fill in details of business outcomes".
• Which scheme: EDG and PSG.
• Source: the EDG claims checklist (dated November 2024) and the PSG step-by-step guide, as of October 2026.

Expect verification

• What the official page says: the MRA page said: "All MRA claims are subject to audit." The BizAdapt page said: "All BizAdapt claims are subject to audit." For EDG, at final claim you had to "select an auditor from Enterprise Singapore's Pre-Qualified Panel to verify your claims, unless expressly exempted by Enterprise Singapore", and "A site visit or presentation meeting may be arranged for this purpose." The MRA FAQ said the auditor's job was "to verify and confirm costs incurred in accordance with the provisions of the Letter of Offer".
• Which scheme: MRA, BizAdapt and EDG.
• Source: the MRA page, the BizAdapt page, the EDG page and the MRA FAQ, as of October 2026.

If a claim is late or incomplete

• What the official page says: "In the event of company unresponsiveness or failure to complete the claim within the stipulated timeline, Enterprise Singapore reserves the right to withdraw the claim and/or refuse to make payment or to vary the proportion and maximum contribution payable or to recover from the applicant part or the full amount of all payments made."
• Which scheme: EDG only.
• Source: the EDG claims checklist, November 2024, as read in October 2026.

We found no rule on recovering payments that applies to every grant on the portal.

Changes after you accept

• What the official page says: the GoBusiness FAQ said: "You can submit a change request after you have accepted the Letter Of Offer for a grant and before you have made a claim." For a new PSG vendor, the PSG FAQ said: "Please terminate the application and resubmit a new one before proceeding with the project and making payment to the new vendor. Otherwise, your claims may be rejected subsequently." The MRA page said: "If there is a change in project after commencing, please submit a change request on BGP for evaluation. Failure to do so may cause delays during the claim process subsequently." The BizAdapt page said the same. To end an accepted grant on the BGP log-in, the GoBusiness FAQ said: "Navigate to the 'Completed' tab under 'My Applications'. Select the grant you wish to terminate. Click on 'Terminate Grant'."
• Which scheme: the change request timing and the termination steps are for the BGP log-in; the vendor rule is PSG; the change-in-project rule is MRA and BizAdapt.
• Source: the Business Grants Portal FAQ on GoBusiness, the PSG FAQ, the MRA page and the BizAdapt page, as of October 2026.

For the EDGE Grant, the EDGE Grant FAQ says, as of October 2026: "Change requests are only allowed for changes to project end date and claim due date." It adds: "Should businesses wish to make any other changes to the project, they should terminate the existing project and submit a new application."

What this means for your project

This is our reading of the pages above, not an official statement.

Accepting commits your company to a project, not only to a grant. The letter sets out the project period and, for the schemes we checked, the deliverables and qualifying costs. Changes go through the agency's change request or termination rules, which differed by scheme. MRA allowed changes to the project dates, the claim due date and project costs, "including change in consultant/vendor", by change request (MRA page, MRA FAQ, as of October 2026). PSG allowed no vendor or package change after approval (PSG FAQ, as of October 2026). The EDGE Grant FAQ says change requests are only allowed for the project end date and claim due date (EDGE Grant FAQ, as of October 2026). Then, at claim, come the evidence and, for the schemes we checked, the audit.

So the questions after 'Accept' are delivery questions:

• What exactly will be delivered?
• In what order, with which milestones, and by when?
• What evidence does each step leave for the claim?

You may fairly ask why you would pay anyone to help with this. For the acceptance itself, you should not. It has to happen inside your company: only your Acceptor can accept, and under MRA, all submissions in the portal had to be made by the company "through its authorised employees/staff" (MRA FAQ, as of October 2026). The EDGE activity pages we read say: "Third-party companies are not permitted to apply for or manage the grant on behalf of the applicant company." (one EDGE activity page, as of October 2026). A simple project with one vendor can be planned in-house too.

Outside help earns its place when the project spans several systems or vendors and your team cannot yet answer those three questions. One more point, and it is ours: under PSG, a vendor change meant terminating and reapplying before payment, so it paid to find a scope problem before money moved.

Accepting commits your company to a project. The Grant Project Planner turns a few short answers into a draft project brief in about three minutes. It is free, with no documents or login.

If the CEO has changed

Your company's Corppass Admin assigns the new CEO or MD the Business Grants Portal Acceptor role, so that they can accept the Letter of Offer (BGP 2.0 FAQ). The role is assigned in Corppass, not in the portal.

Before you submit the application

• What to do: update the Letter of Offer addressee before you submit.
• Source: the BGP 2.0 FAQ, as of October 2026.

After you submit, before approval

• What to do: contact the processing agency. The FAQ says: "They will return your application, so you can update it."
• Source: the BGP 2.0 FAQ, as of October 2026.

After the Letter of Offer is issued

• What to do: the BGP 2.0 FAQ says the new CEO or MD "will be able to accept it when your Corppass administrator assigns them the rights". The PSG, MRA and BizAdapt FAQs added that at this point "no amendment to the addressee can be made". The PSG FAQ confirmed that "the new CEO/MD can still accept the Letter of Offer if he/she has been granted rights to do so."
• Source: the BGP 2.0 FAQ, the PSG FAQ, the MRA FAQ and the BizAdapt FAQ, as of October 2026.

After you have accepted

• What to do: no official page we read covers this case.
• Source: none found, as of October 2026.

In every case, tell the grant processing agency and the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). The BGP 2.0 FAQ says: "Do remember to update the grant processing agency and ACRA of the change in management." To find the agency's contact details, start from the BGP 2.0 FAQ.

Next step

Your letter sets out the project period and, for the schemes we checked, the deliverables. Delivering against it is a sequencing question: what happens first, what each step produces, and what you will need to show when you claim.

Plan it free first. Our Grant Project Planner asks a few short questions about your business and the bottleneck you want to fix, then gives you a draft project brief on screen in about three minutes. No documents, no login.

Want us alongside you? If the project spans several systems or vendors, or you would rather not run the project alone, tell us about it and check if we're a fit. We look up your company before we reply, and we reply within one working day, Singapore time. If you know something is wrong, but not yet what to fix, a Blueprint is a paid diagnosis that ends with a costed plan.

Grant outcomes are decided only by the agency that runs the grant.
