The Step-by-Step Application Walkthrough
Prepare Your Documents
To start your application, you will need to prepare the following documents:
- ACRA BizFile
- Latest utility bill
- Quotation for new equipment
- Photo of your old equipment to be replaced
Submit Your Application on the GoBusiness Portal
The application is submitted via the Business Grants Portal (BGP). Ensure your vendor provides a detailed quote that clearly states the energy savings and model number of the pre-approved equipment.
Approval & Installation
CRUCIAL: Do not purchase or install the equipment until you receive your Approval Letter from the grant authority. This is a common mistake that can lead to a rejected application.
Claim Your Grant Payout
You have up to one year from the date of approval to purchase and install the equipment. Once completed, you will submit proof of purchase and installation to the GoBusiness portal to receive your grant funds.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Navigating the grant process is easier when you’re aware of the pitfalls. Here are some of the most common mistakes to steer clear of:
- Installing equipment before grant approval.
- Choosing equipment not on the pre-approved list.
- Providing an incomplete or unclear quotation from the vendor.
- Missing the application deadline (the current base tier application window is until 31 March 2026).
- Not working with an experienced, pre-approved vendor who can guide you.
