Legacy EDG, MRA and PSG claims after cessation

Legacy EDG, MRA and PSG claims do not disappear when the three schemes cease on 29 September 2026. Enterprise Singapore states that ongoing submissions and projects will continue to be processed, and claims may be submitted after project completion. The practical risk is not the scheme name changing. It is missing the project-specific conditions, evidence or claim date in the Letter of Offer.

Companies should keep every existing project on its original control record. Do not replace the old reference number with an EDGE record, combine several awards into one claim file or assume that the new scheme changes an accepted Letter of Offer.

Separate cessation from project expiry

The Enterprise Singapore EDGE page says EDG, MRA and PSG cease on 29 September 2026, with EDGE available from 30 September. It also confirms that ongoing applications and projects continue to be processed. This preserves the route for existing work, but it does not extend every project automatically.

For each award, record the project qualifying period, deliverables, approved cost items, support level and claim due date from the Letter of Offer and Business Grants Portal. Treat the date shown for that project as controlling unless Enterprise Singapore approves a change.

A cessation announcement is therefore not permission to finish late. It is also not a reason to submit an incomplete claim early. The business still needs to complete the supported work and satisfy the evidence requirements for its scheme.

Build one register for all legacy awards

Create a register with one row for each EDG, MRA or PSG reference. Include the business owner, finance owner, vendor, qualifying period, next milestone, claim deadline, portal contact and disbursement method. Add a link to the accepted Letter of Offer and the latest approved change request.

The register should distinguish an application awaiting assessment, an accepted award, a project in delivery, a completed project awaiting audit and a submitted claim. Those statuses carry different actions. An application still under review does not prove support, while a completed project may already be close to its claim deadline.

Review the register weekly until the final legacy claim is paid. Keep reminder dates ahead of the portal deadline so that an auditor, supplier or project team has time to correct missing material.

Keep the EDG claim tied to outcomes

The Enterprise Development Grant page describes EDG as reimbursement support. Claims may be submitted after all project deliverables have been achieved, and they must reach Enterprise Singapore no later than six months from the end of the project qualifying period, subject to the Letter of Offer.

An EDG file should contain the project summary, evidence of each deliverable, invoices, bank payment records and other cost support. It should also show how actual outcomes compare with the approved proposal. Where an auditor is required, appoint one from the stated panel early enough for queries and corrections.

Do not present a vendor invoice as proof that the transformation happened. Link each approved deliverable to a report, system record, equipment image, training record or another result that a reviewer can verify.

Preserve the MRA market and activity boundary

The Market Readiness Assistance page requires completion of the supported overseas activity and an audit before the claim is submitted. The claim package includes the audit report, endorsed Statement of Claim and the deliverables stated in the Letter of Offer.

Keep the target market and approved activity visible throughout the file. Overseas promotion, business development and market setup have different evidence. Travel records, local employment documents, event material, partner searches, contracts and office documents should be matched only where the Letter of Offer calls for them.

If the project changed after it began, check whether a change request was submitted and approved. A commercial adjustment that made sense to the business may still fall outside the supported scope if it was never accepted.

Prove deployment and use for PSG

The Productivity Solutions Grant page states that the approved solution or equipment must be purchased or subscribed to as approved, deployed for at least 30 days and paid in full before the claim. The claim evidence includes the invoice, payment proof, usage report for an IT solution and the relevant licence or serial number.

Compare the vendor, package, quantity and deployment location against the Letter of Offer. If the vendor or scope changed, retain the approved variation. A generic screenshot or invoice with a different package name can slow the review even when the system works.

Keep evidence of actual use, not only installation. For software, capture a usage report covering the required period. For equipment, record the serial number and location. Maintain the asset or subscription for any required holding period.

Use a claim readiness table

Control changes before the deadline

Compare actual dates, vendors, costs and deliverables with the accepted award before completion. If a material change needs approval, submit it through the stated route before treating the revised item as supportable. Keep the request, response and updated portal record together.

Where a deadline extension is available, request it before the existing date lapses. Do not rely on an email draft or a conversation with a vendor. Confirm the revised date in the Business Grants Portal and update the register.

Set up Corporate PayNow or the approved GIRO route before disbursement becomes urgent. Reconcile the approved claim, payment notification and bank receipt when funds arrive.

Connect the old award to the current support library

The Singapore business support decision guide remains the pillar cornerstone. The EDGE evidence handover guide covers new applications after the transition, while the MRA claim evidence guide and PSG claim document guide provide scheme-specific detail. The Enterprise Support and Grants hub connects the wider library.

The safest transition plan is simple: preserve the accepted award, finish the approved work, prove the result and submit before the project-specific deadline. A new grant name does not erase an old obligation or rescue a late legacy claim.
