New portal helps Singapore businesses find grants, calculate tariffs, and explore overseas markets.

Singapore businesses now have a single digital platform for navigating government support and international expansion tools, reducing the need to search across multiple websites.

BizSG Goes Live on September 30
The BizSG portal officially launched on September 30, 2026, as the first offering under a wider whole-of-government initiative designed to make government support easier for businesses to access and use. The initiative is jointly led by Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry and Enterprise Singapore, with the goal of creating a more seamless and personalized experience for businesses.

AI Helps Businesses Find Grants
One of BizSG’s main features is an AI-powered Grant Recommender, which directs companies toward government support based on their needs. The portal also includes a Grant Directory and an eligibility checker that uses government business data to assess whether a company qualifies for available programs. The eligibility checker currently covers Enterprise Singapore’s Enterprise Development Grant, as well as grants administered by SkillsFuture Singapore and Workforce Singapore, with more schemes expected to be added.

Tariff Calculator Supports Overseas Expansion
Businesses expanding internationally can use BizSG’s Tariff Calculator to identify applicable free trade agreements and estimate potential tariff savings. The platform also provides Export Insights based on trade flow data, helping companies assess potential overseas markets before deciding whether to pursue them.

Networks and Events Available in One Place
BizSG also brings together business networks and curated events relevant to participating companies. Enterprise Singapore said the portal combines government support, internationalization tools, events, and global networks while offering recommendations tailored to a company’s business needs and growth ambitions.

Government Targets Easier SME Access
Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations Grace Fu said the broader ambition is for BizSG to become a digital concierge for businesses, giving them more time to focus on growth. SMEs account for 99% of businesses in Singapore. For government assistance schemes, an SME generally refers to a company with annual sales turnover of no more than S$100 million or an employment size of no more than 200 workers.

For Singapore businesses, BizSG consolidates grants, tariff tools, market insights, and business networks into one government platform. For Indonesian companies exploring partnerships or expansion involving Singapore, the portal also provides a clearer view of the support and internationalization tools available to Singapore-based businesses.
