PSG Playbook

Last reviewed: April 2026

The Productivity Solutions Grant is usually best suited to SMEs adopting pre-approved productivity or digital solutions in a relatively contained project. As of April 2026, official sources describe PSG support at up to 50 percent of eligible costs for local SMEs, with support of up to S$30,000 and common baseline conditions including registration and operation in Singapore, local equity, and SME size thresholds. Always confirm the live scheme page and solution listing before applying.

Who should apply and who should not

Best fit:

• SMEs with a clear operational problem and a pre-approved solution that addresses it
• companies wanting a practical first step in digitalisation
• businesses that can manage a narrower implementation scope cleanly

Poorer fit:

• companies seeking a broad transformation spanning strategy, redesign, multiple systems, and internal change management
• businesses that have already substantially started the project

Typical support scope and co-funding logic

In practical terms, PSG is designed for solutions and equipment within the approved pathway. The company usually still pays first and claims later, so internal cash-flow planning matters.

Required supporting documents

Common preparation items include:

• company information and applicant credentials
• selected solution and vendor details from the approved pathway where relevant
• quotation or cost breakdown
• business rationale and expected outcomes

Typical timeline and reviewer expectations

Reviewers usually expect:

• a specific and credible business problem
• a proportionate solution
• no sign that the project is already underway in a disqualifying way
• reasonable readiness to implement

Common rejection reasons and what strong evidence looks like

Common rejection patterns:

• no real problem definition
• project started too early
• unsupported cost items
• mismatch between business need and chosen solution

Strong evidence usually looks like:

• simple baseline metrics
• a direct link between solution features and the business issue
• a realistic deployment and training plan

Important note

Note
PSG is often strongest when the story is simple, specific, and operationally grounded.
