Funding preparation checklist

Work through these checks with your own evidence. Note what is confirmed, what is an estimate, and what you still need to find out.

1. Confirm the funder’s current application requirements directly.
2. Write the funding amount and a specific use for each part.
3. Separate your own contribution from requested funding.
4. Attach dated quotes and evidence supporting key costs.
5. Describe the customer, demand evidence and sales approach.
6. Prepare monthly cash-flow assumptions and repayment scenarios.
7. Show how a slower start or lower price affects cash.
8. Reconcile your figures across the narrative and tables.
9. Prepare the records and identification the recipient requests.
10. Review every estimate before submission; a plan does not guarantee approval.

Use this as a preparation aid. Check current requirements directly with the responsible organisation.
