Business Grant Support in Singapore: Compare Consultation and the Official Route

Applying for a Singapore business grant involves identifying the right scheme, confirming eligibility and preparing a compliant application. The comparison below sets out published advisory and official discovery routes so you can decide whether to engage a consultant or apply directly. Advisory support helps with preparation, but the applicant company remains responsible for submitting and managing the application. Confirm deliverables, fees and the boundary between advisory work and your own application responsibilities.

Questions to settle before you choose

  • Which specific grant scheme suits your business need, and have you confirmed current eligibility criteria?
  • What does the advisory engagement deliver: assessment only, documentation, or end-to-end preparation support?
  • Who submits and manages the actual grant application, and what is the applicant's own responsibility?
  • What is the advisory fee, and is it payable regardless of whether the grant is awarded?
  • Does the adviser have any conflict of interest, such as being an approved vendor for the same scheme?
  • Have you checked the official grant portal for the current application route, deadlines and documentation requirements?

Choose by what you need

Choose between paying for a defined advisory task and using the official discovery/application route yourself. 3E publishes a one-to-one government-grant consultation to understand the business need; the page does not establish every application or post-award task as included. Advanced Consultancy publishes SME consultancy with grant preparation support including EDGE scoping and documentation; your company submits and manages its own application. Tendou provides Advanced Consultancy's website services. BizSG publishes grant discovery and preliminary matching; the Business Grants Portal brings business grant applications together and announces its apply.gov.sg address. These portals are government service routes, not competing private consultants. Confirm the live scheme, eligibility, deadline, applicant responsibility and any adviser fee directly; no award or co-funding amount is promised.
