Grants for SMEs

Enterprise Development Grant for Branding, Business Transformation and Growth.

The Enterprise Development Grant may support eligible companies in capability development, innovation, productivity and market access projects. Depending on eligibility and project scope, AI adoption, business process redesign, productivity improvement, digital transformation, automation and strategic capability development may be considered under relevant EDG support areas. Bluehive can help SMEs structure project scope, define deliverables, coordinate implementation vendors and prepare the business narrative where applicable — across brand strategy, business transformation, AI OCR, AI chatbot, AI receptionist, agentic workflows, SOP LLM, productivity and sustainability projects.

Why this matters

What this grant scheme really solves for SMEs

  • SMEs often need brand and business transformation to grow but lack a structured project
  • EDG projects require clear outcomes, deliverables and capability uplift
  • Scoping is the difference between an approved project and a rejected one
  • Implementation discipline matters more than chasing the grant

Bluehive does not guarantee grant approval. Funding support is subject to eligibility and the requirements of the relevant grant scheme.
