Event seasons are uneven.
Corporate clients often pay on 30 to 60 days.
Each lender sets its own requirements. Typical working capital programs also look for at least 6 months in business, regular deposits into a Canadian business bank account and roughly $10,000 or more in monthly revenue.

Xito Capital Partners is a Calgary-based advisory firm led by Andrew Apedoe, with a background in valuation and investment banking. Many clients come to us before a sale, a refinancing or a lender review.
Catering income follows weddings, corporate events and holiday seasons, so it can swing sharply by month. Show a full year of revenue and the bookings already confirmed.
You buy food, rent equipment and book staff before the event, while deposits cover only part of that. Corporate clients often pay on 30 day terms after the event.
Lenders ask how deposits are collected, what happens if an event is cancelled and how far ahead bookings are made.
Kitchens, delivery vehicles and serving equipment are real costs, and food handling needs current permits and training. Lenders commonly check both.
Which option fits depends on your history, your customers and how quickly you need funds. Each lender sets its own requirements and makes its own credit decision.

It varies by lender, amount and term. Short-term working capital is usually more expensive than a bank loan, so we show you the total repayment in dollars for each option before you decide.
Timing depends on the lender, how quickly you send a complete file and approval. Smaller requests can move faster than larger ones. Timing is never guaranteed.
Lenders commonly ask for recent business bank statements, owner identification and a void cheque. Larger requests may need financial statements, receivables aging and CRA balances. Each lender sets its own requirements.
