Advisor's note
Most eligible SMEs never use their SFEC because they do not know they have it. It stacks with EDG/PSG claims. Note: the current SFEC runs until Nov 2026, after which a redesigned scheme gives companies with 3+ resident employees a fresh S$10,000 credit in an upfront online wallet. Check the expiry window; unused credit lapses.
Planning a digitalisation or overseas-expansion project? From 30 September 2026 those run under the EDGE grant, which replaced the EDG grant, PSG grant and MRA grant. Our team delivers EDGE projects end to end.
