If you are awarded the grant, your company will receive a Letter of Offer (LO) indicating the conditions of support and the amount of grant awarded. You need to acknowledge receipt and accept the LO (by clicking the ‘Accept’ button on Business Grant Portal) within the timeline indicated, otherwise the application would be considered invalid.

Key terms to take note in the Offer Letter:
​
1. Project Qualifying Period 

• This is critical, as any expenses paid outside of this period will not be claimable

2. Project Qualifying Cost and awarded Grant amounts

• This is important, as it breaks down how much of the project costs are supported, and at what percentage levels

3. Project Deliverables

• This is critical as you will need to meet all deliverables before your claims can be approved for grant disbursement after the project​

Essentially, projects should have been completed within the specified qualifying period, and all project deliverables should have been achieved.

Step 1: Prepare Documents

Prepare the following documents required for claims submission (Claims submission checklist):

• For first time applicants, complete the Giro form and mail it to the address indicated on the document, or complete the online ESG GIRO Form (FormSG) online.   
  • No action required if there is no change to the Giro details previously submitted to ESG.
• Deliverables Documentation
  • Project Summary report (Project Summary report template)
  • Documentation of project deliverables (e.g. consultant’s report, images of equipment, etc)
• Cost Items Documentation for audit (e.g. Invoices, bank statements, employment contract, etc.)

• Upon completion of the above steps, submit the claim and record the claim number for future reference. If you require further technical support on your claim submission, please contact Enterprise Infoline.

• An Enterprise Singapore officer will verify that the project deliverables have been met, and may contact you for further information if required. A site visit or presentation meeting may be arranged for this purpose. You may be asked to revise your Project Report if the information is incomplete.
• Concurrently, the auditor that you have appointed will verify your claim documents and issue an Audit Report upon completion of the verification. The auditor may contact you for further information if required.
• The approved claim amount will be disbursed within a few weeks via GIRO to your designed bank account after successful verification of project deliverables & expenses. 
• You will be informed via email when the grant has been approved and disbursed.
• An email will also be sent out by DBS to the email address stated in the GIRO form to confirm the transaction.
