PSG Grant Guide

Using PSG to Fund AI-Enabled HR Software

Adopting proper HR software need not be full price. Here is how the Productivity Solutions Grant works for SMEs, and the order of steps that keeps your claim valid.

What PSG covers

The Productivity Solutions Grant supports Singapore SMEs adopting pre-approved digital solutions under IMDA's SMEs Go Digital programme. It covers up to 50% of qualifying costs for pre-approved solutions, and HR software is one of the supported categories. PeopleCentral is a PSG pre-approved vendor, which means there is no separate vendor assessment for eligible companies.

The order that matters

The single most common way SMEs disqualify themselves is doing things in the wrong order. As a rule, you apply through the Business Grants Portal before you sign or pay the vendor, and you wait for the Letter of Offer before starting. Paying a deposit first can void the claim. This is worth getting right, because the process is otherwise one of the most straightforward grants an SME can access.

Eligibility in plain terms

  • Registered and operating in Singapore.
  • At least 30% local shareholding.
  • Group annual sales turnover not exceeding S$100 million, or group employment size not exceeding 200 employees.
  • The solution is used in Singapore, and you have not paid or committed to the vendor before applying.

We handle the paperwork

Because PeopleCentral is pre-approved, eligible SMEs can move quickly. Our team helps you scope the right package and prepares the submission, so the grant support is not left on the table. Confirm current grant terms with us before you plan around them, since scheme details change.
