Gear is expensive, and the gap between deposit and final delivery can stretch for weeks. Lady's First backs women-owned photo and video studios with capital that covers both.
How photography funding actually works
Photography and video are gear-heavy trades. Bodies, lenses, lighting, and audio add up fast, and a single cinema camera can run past $20,000 before it books a job. Clients pay a deposit, then the real money comes only after weeks of editing and delivery, so payroll for editors and second shooters lands well ahead of the final invoice. A studio build-out is its own upfront bill on top of the kit.
Two ways owners use it
Gear and studio capital. Buy cameras, lenses, and lighting, build out a studio, and equip an edit suite so you can take on more and bigger shoots.
Working capital. Cover editing staff and second shooters during the delivery gap, fund a marketing push, and bridge the stretch between deposit and final payment.
What owners use it for
Cameras and lenses, studio build-outs, editing payroll, marketing, and bridging deposit-to-delivery. From $10,000 to $2,000,000 based on monthly revenue.
Why owners skip the bank
Banks rarely understand freelance-style creative income. 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.
