Government Business Loan for SMEs

There are various government-assisted SME loan financing schemes in Singapore for SMEs to tap into. These schemes help businesses access financing across various stages of growth.

Most of these financing schemes are administered by Enterprise Singapore (ES), a statutory board to help SMEs innovate, upgrade capabilities and internationalize. Typically, some percentage of risk sharing from ES will be provided with participating financial institutions.
