Funding Request and Use of Funds Skill

Use When

• Use when translating the business case into a specific ask to a bank, investor, DFI, or other capital provider.
• Use when the plan must show exact use of funds, repayment logic, ownership consequences, or term logic.
• Use when the funding ask needs to align tightly with implementation and financial projections.

Do Not Use When

• Do not use before the financial model and implementation budget are stable enough to support a real ask.
• Do not use a debt-style ask for an equity case or vice versa.
• Do not use a generic funding paragraph when the audience expects a structured ask.
