What Is the MSME Digitalisation Grant?

The MSME Digitalisation Grant is a Malaysian government initiative designed to accelerate digital adoption among small and medium enterprises. Administered in partnership with SME Bank, Bank Simpanan Nasional, and Agrobank, the programme provides matching grants of up to RM5,000 per eligible business for approved digital solutions covering accounting software, HR systems, e-commerce platforms, and ERP solutions.

The grant continues in 2026 and remains one of the most accessible sources of funding for Malaysian SMEs looking to modernise their operations.

Who Qualifies for the MSME Digitalisation Grant?

To be eligible for the MSME Digitalisation Grant, your business must meet the following criteria:

Registered with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM)

How Much Can You Save?

The RM5,000 MSME Digitalisation Grant is applied against ZeroPilot AI's one-time Integration Fee (RM1,500) first, with the remainder offsetting monthly subscriptions:

Integration Fee (RM1,500): Covered in full by the grant — zero upfront implementation cost
Clarity Plan (RM1,497/month): Remaining RM3,500 offsets more than two months of subscription
Control Plan (RM2,497/month): Remaining RM3,500 covers the Integration Fee and contributes toward the first month

Combined, eligible businesses begin their ZeroPilot AI implementation with the Integration Fee fully covered by the grant—meaningfully reducing first-year investment and accelerating your return to full compliance readiness.

Why Act Now

Grant allocations are finite and processed on a first-come, first-served basis. With LHDN e-invoice compliance becoming mandatory for all businesses by January 2027, the window to simultaneously secure grant funding and implement compliant software is now.
