Started too early
The contract came before the application.
Many programmes only pay if nothing has been ordered, signed or registered yet. A single signature can cost the entitlement permanently.
No search box.
A plan with an order.
Over 100 programmes, matched against your project. At the end stands what you start with – and what you must not sign until then.

2What is checked?
What goes wrong
Funding is almost always lost in one of three ways.
The module is built against exactly these three cases – the first is the most expensive, because it cannot be undone.
Never found
The right programme stayed unknown.
UK government, devolved nations, regions and foundations fund side by side. If you do not know every level, you miss exactly the programme that fits your situation.
Gap overlooked
One condition was missing – and it was fixable.
A university partner, a legal form, a certificate: often exactly one requirement is missing that can be met in weeks – if you know about it in time.
Order
Not a list – an order.
Every programme is placed by amount and reachability.What you can reach today comes before what sounds bigger.
If the source says two programmes rule each other out, the report says which comes first.
3Where do the programmes come from?
Types of funding
Eight kinds of support – never treated as equivalent.
For every programme one fixed sentence states whether and how the money flows back. A grant and a loan never appear in the same total.
Support you don’t pay back.
Deliberately limited: financing with no funding element – a bank loan, investors, crowdfunding – does not belong in this module.
Funding database
Curated data instead of a live search.
Over 100 programmes, 30 data fields per programme, each with an official source and a date checked. No blogs, no consultant pages, no links added from memory.

Your result
Two questions you can answer afterwards.
One per package – the second builds on the first.
Match & priority
Four levels, three priorities – no percentage.
Plain language instead of a points system: every programme carries one level, every single requirement its own marking.
Every documented requirement is confirmed. Nothing open.
It fits – but one requirement is decided by the provider, the bank or the authority.
Something is actively missing: legal form, evidence, a partner. The gap is in the report – with the time it takes.
An exclusion criterion applies. Still in the report – so you can see it was checked.
The strictest rule in the module“Strong match” is a high bar
If a requirement still has to be checked, confirmed or decided by someone else, the status is not Strong match. Because a strong match is something you rely on.
Markings
Every requirement marked individually.
Three to six requirements per programme, each with its own marking – and for “to confirm” it says who decides.
- MetYour answers document the requirement
- To confirmWhat exactly needs confirming – and with whom
- OpenWhat is missing, what to do, how long it takes
- Cannot be metWith the reason why it cannot be fixed
The report provides orientation and decision support – not legal or tax advice. On sensitive points the recommendation is to seek a professional review.
