What counts as an SME in Singapore?

Enterprise Singapore counts a company as an SME when its group annual sales turnover is no more than S$100 million or its group employment is no more than 200 workers. Many Singapore grants also require at least 30% local ownership by Singapore citizens or permanent residents, based on ultimate individual ownership.

Each programme sets its own criteria, so check the official programme page. Source: Enterprise Singapore EDGE Grant FAQ. Malaysian programmes use their own size thresholds.

The administering body decides eligibility and support. Confirm the full official terms before acting.
