With the fast-paced business landscape in Singapore, companies have to constantly innovate and keep themselves abreast with the latest technologies in order to stay relevant and competitive.
Enterprise Transformation is one effective way to bring your business to the next level. From enhancements of day-to-day operations, to better product offering and a higher quality workforce, the benefits of enterprise transformation can greatly contribute to the growth of your business.
The cost of transforming a business is usually not low, and not many small business owners can afford to put aside a large budget for this cause. With this constraint, transformation plans are sometimes stalled or put down by the management, thereby further impacting the business ability to compete in the market.
To nail down its plan for deeper digitalisation amongst local companies, the Singapore Government has introduced schemes that can help business owners to materialise their transformation projects by shouldering part of the cost.
Some of the popular government schemes that assist with enterprise transformation include:
1. Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG)
It supports SMEs which want to improve their productivity by adopting pre-approved IT solutions to enhance business processes.
Businesses can claim up to 80% funding for the PSG grant until 31 March 2022.
PSG funding has been reduced to 50% on 1 April 2023.
2. SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC)
A government scheme that provides a once-off $10,000 credit to companies who plan to transform their business and upskill their workers. Funding will be provided for the business enhancements, as well as support for training and courses attended by the workers. This credit can be used to cover up to 90% of such out-of-pocket expenses.
