Unlock Digital Growth with Xero & the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) – Get up to 50% Grant Support for Xero

In an increasingly digital business world, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore are gaining a powerful opportunity to transform their accounting and financial workflows. Through the collaboration between Xero and the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG), businesses can tap into up to 50 % funding support when adopting cloud-based financial management tools. 

What is the PSG?

The Productivity Solutions Grant is a joint initiative by Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and Enterprise Singapore (ESG) designed to help local companies adopt IT solutions and equipment that enhance productivity.  Eligible SMEs must:
  • Be registered and operating in Singapore
  • Use the adopted solution or equipment in Singapore. 
  • Have at least 30% local shareholding. 
  • Have either annual sales turnover ≤ S$100 million or ≤ 200 employees. 
From 1 April 2023 onwards, the maximum support level is up to 50%. 

Why choose Xero for your accounting digitalisation?

Xero is one of the leading cloud-accounting platforms tailored for SMEs. With its ease of use, strong ecosystem and cloud capabilities, it allows businesses to:
  • Automate bookkeeping and reconciliation
  • Access real-time financial data from anywhere
  • Collaborate with accountants and advisors in the cloud

When paired with the PSG, the cost barrier to adopting such digital tools becomes significantly lower — making it an attractive proposition for forward-looking SMEs.

  • Plan your project timeline: Grants get processed in ~4-6 weeks once all information is submitted. Align your implementation plan accordingly. 
  • Make sure you deploy the solution for at least one month before claiming. The documentation must show usage.
