Vendors want deposits long before the client pays the final invoice, and that gap comes out of your pocket. Lady's First backs women-owned event and wedding planners with capital built for that timing.
How event planning funding actually works
Event planning is a cash-flow puzzle. Venues, caterers, and rental vendors want deposits months out, and staff have to be paid the night of, but the client balance often does not land until well after the event. Book two or three big weddings in the same season and you are floating tens of thousands in vendor deposits before a cent of profit hits. The bigger the events, the wider the gap.
Two ways owners use it
Deposit capital. Front vendor and venue deposits, secure rentals, and lock dates for multiple events at once without draining your own account.
Working capital. Staff the events, cover payroll between payouts, invest in marketing to fill the calendar, and bring on planners as the business grows.
What owners use it for
Vendor deposits, event staffing, rental inventory, lead generation, and bridging the deposit-to-payout gap. From $10,000 to $2,000,000 based on monthly revenue.
Why owners skip the bank
Banks want collateral and predictable revenue, and events are neither on paper. Lady's First gives decisions in about 24 hours and funds in 24–72, no collateral, bad credit considered. Qualify with 3+ months operating and about $10,000+ in monthly revenue. Recent business bank statements start it, and the application takes about two minutes.
