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 support is UK-wide, Northern Ireland-specific, council-led, business support, not-for-profit support or partnership delivery.
Record applicant type, location, sector, costs, deadline, evidence and whether the source is a grant, loan, advice or programme.
Use regional sources as signposts but verify each opportunity against the primary funder page before alerting users.
Readiness checks
- Northern Ireland geography and applicant type confirmed.
- Grant, loan, advice or programme route identified.
- Primary source URL and deadline recorded.
- Evidence and eligibility caveats checked.
- UK-wide overlap considered where relevant.
Eligibility caveats
- Northern Ireland support sources can mix grants, advice, loans and programmes.
- Council or regional funding may not apply across all areas.
- FundingLens remains UK-first and keeps US/global sources out unless UK eligibility is explicit.
