Catering businesses · funding preparation

Look at when money comes in and goes out

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.

Follow the steps

How to submit your business details

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.

Planned purchases

Explain the costs behind your plans

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.

Gather the basics

Prepare the information for your request

Prepare the requested amount, business purpose and timing from your purchase or operating budget.

  • 01Your requested amount and the expense it would cover
  • 02Your revenue range and how long you have traded
  • 03The business name, sector and approximate credit profile
  • 04Contact details for the owner and a reachable mobile number

Understand our role

Understand the service before applying

How does the referral service get paid?

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.

How are funding terms set?

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.

How long can a review take?

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.

What contact permission am I giving?

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.
