Frequently asked questions
For real estate agency SMEs, the optimal stack depends on project scope: PSG (50% subsidy) for off-the-shelf AI tools from the GoBusiness catalogue, EDG (50% subsidy) for custom AI builds at IDP Stage 2/3, CTC (70% subsidy) across equipment, software, consultancy and training around impacted staff. Most serious real estate agency transformations stack all three for combined effective subsidy of 55-60%.
PSG caps at S$30,000 per UEN annually. EDG funds six-figure projects. CTC funds workforce transformation projects. Combined on a S$100,000 real estate agency AI transformation, total grant funding typically lands at S$55,000-S$60,000.
EDG requires an appointed consultant. PSG and CTC don't strictly require one, but real estate agency SMEs working with experienced AI consultants typically see first-pass approval rates rise from ~40% (DIY) to over 85%. The consultant fee is often itself grant-eligible.
PSG-funded off-the-shelf tools deploy in 2-8 weeks. EDG-funded custom builds run 6-12 months. CTC-funded workforce transformation runs 6-18 months. End-to-end serious real estate agency transformation typically lands in 9-18 months across phased grant milestones.
Going tool-first instead of role-first. Buying an AI tool without redesigning the role around it leaves the investment underutilised. The PSG (tool) + CTC (people) stack solves this by funding both sides of the transformation.
