Review workflow
What FundingLens helps you do
Keep source facts, caveats and next actions together so your team can decide what deserves attention before application work starts.
Check whether the source is GLA, borough, business support, community funder, cultural programme or UK-wide grant with London eligibility.
Record borough, applicant type, project theme, deadline, delivery partner, eligible costs and whether the route is direct application or signpost.
Treat local business support pages as discovery routes until the primary grant or finance provider confirms terms.
Readiness checks
- London or borough geography verified.
- Source route and eligible applicant checked.
- Grant versus advice or finance distinguished.
- Deadline, partner and caveats recorded.
- Official source cited in notes.
Eligibility caveats
- London-wide and borough-level funding are not interchangeable.
- Some support routes are signposting rather than direct grants.
- Programme status can change quickly in local funding.
