PSG Grant for Websites in Singapore (2026): What SMEs Should Know

You have probably heard another SME owner mention they got a government grant for their website and wondered whether the same is available to you. In Singapore, the Productivity Solutions Grant — PSG — is often the answer. It can offset a meaningful slice of the cost of a proper business website, and sometimes bundled extras like an AI chatbot. But the rules shift from year to year, the paperwork trips people up, and not everything you might want is claimable. Here is a plain-English guide to what PSG and SFEC actually are in 2026, and how to think about them before you spend a dollar.

What PSG and SFEC Actually Are

The Productivity Solutions Grant, or PSG, is a government scheme that helps Singapore SMEs adopt pre-approved digital solutions and equipment — website and e-commerce packages among them. You pick an approved solution from an approved vendor, the grant covers a portion of the cost, and you pay the rest. The SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit, or SFEC, is a separate credit that eligible employers can use to offset the out-of-pocket portion of transformation efforts, including projects supported by PSG. In plain terms: PSG reduces the sticker price, and SFEC can help cover part of what is left. Support levels and caps have changed several times over the years, so treat any figure you read — including here — as something to confirm before you commit.

What a Grant-Supported Website Package Includes

• A professional business website — the core of any package, built to convert visitors into enquiries rather than just look tidy
• Mobile and search-ready basics — responsive design and sensible on-page SEO so customers can actually find and use the site
• An AI chatbot (often optional) — many 2026 packages bundle a chatbot to answer common questions and capture leads after hours
• Grant documentation support — a good vendor prepares the quotation and supporting documents your application needs
• A starting price around SGD 8,000 — grant-supported digital packages commonly begin near this figure before any funding is applied

What You Can Realistically Claim — And What You Cannot

• Claimable: the pre-approved website or e-commerce solution itself, within the published cost caps
• Claimable: bundled features that form part of the approved solution, such as an included chatbot module
• Usually not claimable: ongoing monthly fees, ad spend, and content you produce yourself after launch
• Not claimable: anything bought before your application is approved — pay first and you forfeit the grant
• Verify: the exact support percentage and cap for your solution, which change from year to year

How the Application Actually Works

1. 1Confirm your eligibility — you generally need a Singapore-registered SME with local shareholding and the solution used within Singapore
2. 2Choose a pre-approved solution and vendor — PSG only funds solutions listed on the official GoBusiness portal
3. 3Get a formal quotation — your vendor prepares the quote and supporting documents for the claim
4. 4Apply on the GoBusiness portal before you pay — approval must come first, and starting work early can disqualify the claim
5. 5Complete the project and submit your claim — once the site is delivered, you submit proof and receive the supported portion

Before You Apply: Verify the Current Rules

This is the part too many owners skip. PSG support rates, cost caps, eligible solution lists, and SFEC balances are set by government agencies and reviewed regularly — what was true last year may not hold in 2026. Always check the official GoBusiness and Enterprise Singapore pages, or ask your vendor to point you to the current listing, before you assume a figure. A responsible vendor will never promise you a fixed grant amount or guarantee approval, because neither is theirs to give. What a good partner can do is advise on whether your business is likely eligible, help you pick an approved solution, and prepare clean documentation so your application has the best possible chance.
