Is there grants available for hawker just like sme?
Despite the republic’s hawker food culture gaining international attention for its endless choice of gastronomical delights and affordability, our famed hawker centres are under threat due to rising business costs and succession problems.
In response, the government has set aside some S$90m through grants and initiatives to lower the barrier and counter rising costs for aspiring and current hawkers.
1. Incubation Stall Programme
To counter succession problems, NEA launched the Incubation Stall Programme to encourage aspiring hawkers to join the hawker trade.
- Successful applicants would be offered the stall at half the market rate for six months.
- Basic equipment (stainless-steel shelves, worktops fridges etc) is provided free
- During the six months, aspiring hawkers would have the opportunity to learn the ropes of being a hawker and decide whether they are suited for the hawker trade.
It can be very risky especially if you are a first-timer. Applying for the Incubation Stall Programme will help you get started in your first step to becoming a successful hawker. Click here for link
