What documents do I need for a Singapore grant application?

The short answer

Enterprise Singapore's new grant lists documents on the activity pages we read. Most ask for a vendor proposal and quotation, projected sales or revenue, and projected new jobs. Most list a condition: no work, payment or deposit before you submit.

Last reviewed: 12 October 2026. Official sources: the Business Grants Portal FAQ, Enterprise Singapore, the EDGE activity pages and the Business Grants Portal FAQ on GoBusiness (general, application).

Which document list applies from 30 September 2026

• Enterprise Singapore's Enterprise Development Grant (EDG), Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) and Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) grant ceased on 29 September 2026. From 30 September 2026, business grant support moved to the EDGE Grant (EDG page, as of October 2026).
• EDG, MRA and PSG applications submitted before 30 September 2026 would still be assessed under their own rules (EDGE Grant FAQ, as of October 2026).
• As of 12 October 2026, the EDGE activity pages we read list their own application documents, and the documents differ from one page to another.
• This page does not cover grants from other agencies on the Business Grants Portal, at apply.gov.sg (see our portal guide).

The next section shows what the EDGE activity pages we read ask for. The section after it covers the no-start conditions. The later sections show what the three former grants asked for, for reference only. Where the new grant's pages and the former grants differ, the page for your activity decides.

What the new grant's activity pages ask for

As of 12 October 2026, the EDGE activity pages we read ask you to have their listed documents ready before you start your application. The Large-scale Digital Transformation page, for example, asks for:

• "Project proposal, vendor proposals and quotations"
• "Audited or management-certified financial statements for the last financial year"
• "Projection of expected revenue growth, cost savings, and overseas sales (if applicable) as a result of the project, for 3 years after project completion"
• A projection of new jobs created.

Our reading, not an official rule: as of 12 October 2026, most EDGE activity pages we read ask for a vendor proposal and quotation, projected sales or revenue, and projected new jobs. Only a few ask for financial statements. Some add items, such as an "Event brochure" on the Overseas Physical Trade Fairs page. Documents differ by activity. Check the page for your activity (EDGE Grant page).

Do not start work or pay before you submit

As of 12 October 2026, the EDGE activity pages we read list this condition: "Not have started work or made any payment or deposit to a supplier, vendor, or third party prior to application submission". Not every activity page sets the same rule: the Overseas Physical Trade Fairs page says "Payments or deposits made to secure booth space prior to application submission are permitted".

The former grants had similar rules:

• EDG counted starting work, paying a third party in the application, or signing a contract with one before the application date as an already-started project (EDG page).
• MRA called the same steps retrospective and refused them (MRA page), except for overseas trade fairs, where a company could pay or sign with the show organiser or a third-party vendor before applying (MRA FAQ).
• PSG refused retrospective applications: no payment, deposit or signed contract before submission (PSG page, PSG FAQ). Work could start after submission, at the company's own risk if the application then failed.

What the three former grants asked for (for reference)

A Corppass account

• What it is: your company's login for the Business Grants Portal.
• Portal-wide or scheme-specific: portal-wide (Business Grants Portal FAQ).
• What the official pages said: "You need a Corppass account to access Business Grants Portal." (general FAQ, as of September 2026). Our portal guide covers Corppass roles.

An up-to-date company profile, filled in from registry records

• What it is: your company's details from the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), plus a short description, employment size and financial information.
• Portal-wide or scheme-specific: the profile was portal-wide. An uploaded ACRA document for your own company was EDG only.
• What the official pages said: as of September 2026, the portal FAQ said agencies needed your latest ACRA-based profile, and that the portal prompted a refresh every 3 months (application FAQ). Separately, EDG asked for an uploaded ACRA search or instant information "dated no earlier than 6 months from date of project application" (EDG page).

Financial statements

• What it is: your company's accounts.
• Portal-wide or scheme-specific: the rule on unaudited accounts was portal-wide. The period was scheme-specific.
• What the official pages said: as of September 2026, the portal FAQ accepted "unaudited financial statements or management accounts" where accounts were not audited (general FAQ). EDG asked for audited statements or certified management accounts for the last financial year (EDG page). PSG and MRA asked for the past 3 years, signed off by an authorised person with name and designation (PSG page, MRA page).

A vendor quotation or proposal

• What it is: the vendor's written price for the work.
• Portal-wide or scheme-specific: all three schemes asked for one. The details were scheme-specific.
• What the official pages said: as of September 2026, PSG and MRA required quotations addressed to the registered company name on the ACRA Bizfile, with no short forms (PSG page, MRA page). MRA's checklist asked for "an itemised cost breakdown" (MRA checklist, updated December 2022).

No official page we read set a number of quotations or a validity period. EDG said Enterprise Singapore "may seek clarifications on the choice of vendor and/or alternative quotation source" (EDG page, as of September 2026).

Project details

• What it is: what the project will do and the result you expect.
• Portal-wide or scheme-specific: scheme-specific.
• What the official pages said: as of September 2026, EDG asked for a "Project proposal" plus projected figures, including net operating profit before tax for three years post-project, counting the year it ends (EDG page). PSG asked for a "Description of overall impact" and "Details of productivity gains" (PSG page). MRA asked for "Expected project deliverables" (MRA page).

Most of these documents describe one 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.

How to name your files (our suggestion)

No EDGE activity page, former-grant page or portal FAQ we read gives a rule for file names, file formats, file sizes or the number of attachments. Follow what the upload screen tells you.

The only naming rule we found was for the name inside a quotation: your full registered company name (PSG and MRA).

Our suggestion, not an official rule:

1. Start with a two-digit number in checklist order, such as 01.
2. Add the document type in plain words.
3. Add the date on the document as year-month-day.
4. Add v2, v3 and so on for revised versions.
5. Keep all files in one folder, in checklist order.

For example: 04_vendor-quotation_2026-10-02.pdf. The .pdf ending is only an example.

Copy this checklist

There is no file to download. Copy the list below.

Use this checklist in this order

1. Confirm that you can log in to the portal with Corppass and that the right people hold the right roles.
2. Refresh your company's ACRA information in the portal.
3. Collect your financial statements, if the page for your activity asks for them, for the period it names.
4. Ask your vendor for an itemised quotation addressed to your full registered company name.
5. Write your project details (EDG called this a project proposal): what you will do, at what cost, for what result.
6. Add the other documents the page for your activity lists.
7. Our safe rule: start nothing, pay nothing and sign nothing before you submit. As of 12 October 2026, most EDGE activity pages we read list a condition of no work, payment or deposit before submission; the Overseas Physical Trade Fairs page permits booth-space deposits.
8. Complete the Consent & Acknowledge section, then submit.

The two documents that decide your project

The quotation and the project details define what your project is and what it costs.

As of September 2026, MRA said the costs it would support would "be based on the quotation submitted during application stage" (MRA FAQ). Under PSG, a wrong quotation meant having to "terminate the application and resubmit a new one" (PSG FAQ).

Why not keep it all in-house?

EDG and MRA did not allow a third party to apply for or manage the grant on the company's behalf (EDG page, MRA page). PSG required the company to apply directly and manage the grant (PSG page). As of 12 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" (source).

Under the former grants, the company applied and held the grant itself. The new grant's activity pages we read say the same (as of 12 October 2026, source), so the company owns the scope. Outside help, if any, sits in scoping the project, not in applying.

Next step

Most documents on this list describe one project. When the scope, milestones and costs are settled first, the quotation, the proposal and the supporting documents agree with each other, and gathering them becomes filing, not rewriting.

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.
