Catering businesses · funding preparation

Your operating calendar

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.

How it works

The application process

01

Amount and purpose

Use the actual purchase or operating gap to explain how much funding you want to explore.

02

Trading profile

Answer the questions about monthly revenue, time in business and your industry.

03

Contact details

Check the owner and business contact information, read the disclosures and complete SMS verification before sending.

Possible uses

Business expenses to describe

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

A few things to know

About this referral service

Information sharing and referral payments

Your submitted business and contact information may be sold to as many as five funding partners for follow-up. Partners pay us for the referral regardless of its funding outcome, and we do not charge you to apply.

Approval and available terms

Sending the form does not guarantee an offer or approval. Funding partners assess the business against their own requirements and set the conditions of any financing.

Provider timing

A supplier deadline does not establish how quickly a funding partner can respond. Confirm the provider’s process before relying on financing for a payment.

Contact consent and mobile verification

Check how your information will be used and who may contact you before you send the form. The SMS code verifies your number; the separate consent text describes communications.
