Funding and Due Diligence FAQ

What does “funding” mean in LEC Partners’ services?
At LEC Partners, funding refers to our support in helping clients secure financing through federal and state programs, including grants,
loans, loan guarantees, and export market development programs. Our team assists with feasibility assessments, application packaging,
narrative development, cost-share justification, and compliance with program requirements.

What types of funding support does LEC Partners provide?
We support clients by assessing market feasibility and long-term competitiveness, developing funding applications, reviewing cost-share
structures, preparing compliant branded and generic activity plans, drafting narratives and impact justifications, and supporting
performance metrics, implementation planning, and risk mitigation.

What does due diligence mean in the context of LEC’s work?
Due diligence includes independent technical, market, and financial evaluation of a project or technology. We validate key assumptions,
assess risks, evaluate competitiveness, review readiness levels, and provide evidence-based analysis that helps lenders, investors, and
developers make informed decisions.

Who engages LEC Partners for funding or due diligence support?
Developers, technology companies, commercial producers, lenders, investors, and strategic partners rely on LEC Partners to strengthen
funding applications, evaluate project feasibility, conduct independent due diligence, and ensure that project assumptions and market
positioning are credible and defensible.

When should a project engage LEC Partners for funding or due diligence support?
Funding support is most effective early in project development—when application strategies, market plans, and cost-share structures are
still being shaped. Due diligence engagement is typically initiated before major commitments or negotiations to allow time to address
risks, refine assumptions, and improve overall project readiness.
