Singapore's MRA Grant now covers up to 70% of your overseas expansion costs — up to S$100,000 per market. Whether you're eyeing Indonesia, Vietnam, or Thailand, we'll help you get there (with the government footing most of the bill).
Think of the MRA Grant as your co-investor for going global. Here's what the government will chip in for.
Trade fairs, pop-up stores, digital ads, PR campaigns, and business conferences overseas. Basically, making noise in your new market. Up to S$20,000.
Market research, feasibility studies, business matching with distributors, agents, and JV partners. Finding the right people to work with. Up to S$50,000.
Company registration, IP protection, legal compliance, tax structuring, and setting up your office abroad. The boring-but-essential stuff. Up to S$30,000.
Look, we get it. Expanding overseas sounds expensive and scary. But with Budget 2026 bumping MRA support to 70%, the Singapore government is practically rolling out the red carpet (and the money carpet) for SMEs ready to go international.
For every $100 you spend on eligible activities, the government picks up $70. That's less than what you'd spend on team lunches in a year. Okay maybe not, but you get the point.
Southeast Asia is booming. Pick a market and we'll show you why it's a great idea (and how the MRA Grant helps you get there).
