Put important dates beside the budget
Separate client deposits, staged payments and the final balance for each booking. A signed event agreement and an unpaid enquiry should not be treated as the same source of revenue.

Service equipment
Hot boxes, serving stations and transport containers help food reach the venue in usable condition. Compare purchase and hire costs for the actual event schedule.
Event supplies
Ingredients, tableware and consumables may need ordering well before a wedding or corporate event. Deduct client deposits already received when calculating the remaining gap.
Preparation capacity
A larger booking may require kitchen hire, extra work surfaces or temporary cold storage. Include the preparation days as well as the event day in the budget.

What to expect from us
Answers before you submit
How do referrals and compensation work?
We are paid to refer business applications and sell the submitted details to funding partners. A request may reach up to five partners, payment to us is not conditional on funding, and you do not pay this service an application fee.
Can a request be declined?
No funding commitment is created by completing this request. Eligibility, amounts and contract terms are matters for the provider assessing the application.
How is the review schedule determined?
The application lets you state when funding is needed, but availability is decided separately. A partner’s assessment and agreement may take longer than the business deadline.
Why does the form ask for contact consent?
Take time to read the application’s contact permission and privacy disclosures. SMS verification is an additional step that confirms you can receive a code at the supplied number.
