We have received reports from member companies and past award winners informing that they have fallen victim to the growing number of marketing packages disguised as "Business Awards". These schemes are aggressively marketed to Singapore businesses, and typically operate by sending unsolicited WhatsApp messages, cold calls or emails claiming that the business has been "nominated" or "selected" for an award, after which payment is demanded for trophies, plaques, gala dinners, marketing and/or sponsorship packages.
These entities have no affiliation with ATC, the Singapore SME 500 Award or any of ATC's Business Standards programmes.
ATC does not cold-solicit businesses for award participation and any correspondence from ATC are via our official domain @atc.sg or official WhatsApp accounts. ATC's WhatsApp accounts are used only after a verified relationship has been established and only for notices, automated status updates and administrative transactions to existing applicants and members. If your first-ever contact from "ATC" is a WhatsApp message informing that you have been "nominated" or "selected" to participate and pay for an award, it is not from us.
If you are unsure of the source of communications:
- Do not respond, make payment or share any personal, business or financial information with the sender, unless verified.
- Do not click on links embedded in suspicious WhatsApp messages or emails.
- Verify directly with us by calling +65 6304 3145 or emailing members@atc.sg before taking any further action.
- Report the incident to the Singapore Police Force via the ScamShield helpline 1799 or at www.scamshield.gov.sg
- File an official report with us
Important Note: ATC only administers the Singapore SME 500 Award and the other segments officially listed under ATC's Business Standards. Any other programmes not listed on our official website is not endorsed by, affiliated with or recognised by ATC.

Entrepreneur 100 Award honours and celebrates Singapore's performing entrepreneurs of the year whose inspiring ambitions have contributed to the business’s success, delivering growth, business innovation and prosperity that transforms the industry.
An annual national award programme that honours Singapore’s performing entrepreneurs of the year, the Entrepreneur 100 Award is one of Singapore's most prestigious and highest accolade an entrepreneur yearns to achieve. Recognising entrepreneurs based on their corporate achievements, contributions to the industry, community and nation and policies that have propelled the business's prosperity, the Entrepreneur 100 Award evaluates and affirms the strength and capability of one.
Under the Entrepreneur 100 Award, we call these entrepreneurs the Elites – those who have presented their capabilities to turn ambitions into reality.
To start a business is an easy task. But to create and build a business that delivers long-term value requires courage, persistence and a strong sense of entrepreneur spirit to set the pace.
It takes an individual who is well equipped with unique and remarkable leadership skills to transform a dream into reality, leading the business and forming a formidable management team that contributes to the growth of the business, increasing its profitable and delivering its committed values.
Coinciding with Singapore’s focus in fostering entrepreneurship and providing support and tools for local entrepreneurs to take on the world market, the Entrepreneur 100 Award provides recognised entrepreneurs with an unrivalled platform to grow beyond the local scene, showcasing their abilities and achievements on both national and global scale.
Under the Entrepreneur 100 Award, we call these entrepreneurs the ELITES
