Purchase examples
Common spending needs in this industry
Event equipment
Tables, staging, lighting and sound equipment may be bought or hired for specific bookings. Include setup, storage and transport in the comparison.
Space improvements
Flooring, access and service-area work can affect the venue’s availability. Match contractor payments to the booking calendar and the time required for installation.
Seasonal expenses
Additional staff, supplies and maintenance may be needed before the main event season. Separate recurring venue costs from the expenses of individual bookings.
Event businesses · funding preparation
Begin with the business numbers
Keep refundable deposits, earned fees and outstanding balances separate. A booked date does not necessarily mean all of the associated funds are available to spend.
Helpful application information
What to know about referrals
How are providers connected to my request?
Up to five funding partners may receive an application through a paid referral from us. We sell the application and contact information, receive compensation without a funding requirement, and do not collect an application fee from you.
What affects available options?
Approval cannot be assumed from a successful form submission. Any offer depends on the funding partner’s assessment and the conditions attached to its product.
What can affect the next step?
An equipment delivery date and a financing date may not line up. Ask the provider to confirm its timetable before making a commitment that relies on receiving funds.
What should I read before sharing my number?
Partner contact and information sharing are described in the form and linked policies. Read those details before verifying the number and submitting your business information.
