Gov’t extends application for the Simplified Insolvency Programme until 2026

The programme helps MSCs facing financial difficulties.

The Ministry of Law (MinLaw) has extended the application period for the Simplified Insolvency Programme (SIP) by two years, from 29 January 2024 to 28 January 2026.

MinLaw has extended the application for SIP thrice, first in 2021 and second in 2022. 

The SIP was initially open for six months but was subsequently extended.

The government introduced the programme on 29 January 2021 to benefit micro and small companies (MSCs) facing financial difficulties. 

SIP helps MSCs restructure their debts or wind up via a simpler, faster, and lower-cost insolvency process.

The government plans to make the SIP a permanent feature of its insolvency framework. MSCs may apply for the SIP via www.go.gov.sg/sip.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
