Make the funding case clear before the conversation
A funder or delivery partner needs to understand the project, the amount sought, what it will pay for, the evidence behind the assumptions and the risks that remain.
Manorwest helps businesses and property project teams organise that commercial case into a concise, professional pack. The work can clarify the opportunity, funding requirement, use of funds, expected milestones, commercial assumptions, supporting evidence and questions requiring specialist confirmation.
Explore the funding requirement first
Use our free Development Finance & Equity Calculator to explore loan-to-cost, loan-to-value, rental cover, finance costs and staged cash requirements using your own assumptions. It complements the preliminary appraisal and does not recommend lenders or establish finance eligibility.
Open the free funding & equity calculatorWhat a funding-readiness pack can include
Funding requirement
A structured summary of the amount sought, proposed use of funds, timing and any relevant co-funding or partnership assumptions supplied by the client.
Evidence and risk
An organised list of supporting documents, commercial assumptions, dependencies and unanswered questions that a funder or adviser may need to review.
Useful for property and growth projects
For development opportunities, funding readiness should sit alongside a realistic view of land value, viability, abnormal costs, planning status, infrastructure and delivery timescales. A polished pack cannot compensate for unsupported assumptions, and it does not guarantee finance, grant awards or investment.
Manorwest can help prepare the commercial narrative and supporting documentation, while working alongside the client’s accountant, solicitor, regulated finance adviser, planning consultant and technical team where appropriate.
Before work starts, we agree
- The intended audience and purpose of the pack.
- The documents and figures available, and which remain provisional.
- The agreed outputs, timetable, fee and review boundary.
- Any specialist evidence the client needs to obtain separately.
Pricing and next steps
The typical funding-readiness range shown by Manorwest is £1,500–£3,500, subject to the scope, complexity and information available. A written scope and fee are agreed before work begins.
For a land-led project, begin with a development appraisal or strategic land review if the main question is whether the opportunity and delivery route are commercially credible.
