Applications for the scheme are evaluated based on the merit of the proposed business plan and the founding team, together with other eligibility criteria. Enterprise Singapore and AMPs do not require applicants to disclose whether they have disabilities. We welcome persons from all eligible backgrounds, including persons with disabilities, to apply for the scheme.
