Case Example of PSG Grant

Company XYZ’s PSG application got approved to implement a new accounting system. The accounting package is priced at $5,527 but the PSG grant offers 80% funding to the company. Even though $4,421 of the cost is covered by PSG, an unfunded balance of $1,105.4 still remains.

The company can further claim SFEC to defray an additional 90% of the unfunded balance. With this combination of PSG and SFEC grant, Company XYZ has an unfunded balance of $110.54 remaining.

Even though this amount is not significant for most companies, they need to bear it. Company XYZ can simply get another $200 incentive through ERG. With this final grant, the total cost of the accounting system becomes ZERO. The company can enjoy a full cloud accounting solution worth more than $5,500 for absolutely free!

Therefore, it is absolutely possible to get accounting software for free in Singapore. Even better, you can get access to detailed setup and onboarding guidance from professionals and ABSS or Xero-certified personalized training sessions.
