Where applications go wrong

Common reasons applications fail or claims are cut

  • Starting or paying before you apply. Enterprise Singapore does not support it. Read why you apply before you sign.
  • Claiming costs another grant already approved. The same costs are not eligible twice.
  • A vendor with ties to your company. Vendors must have no link to you, your directors or shareholders.
  • Changing vendor after approval. End the application and apply again first.
  • Using up the cap. Once you use the S$100,000, you wait for the next year from 1 April.
  • Someone else filing for you. Vendors, consultants or anyone outside your company cannot submit for you.
