The show must go on

At Swoop, we help businesses bridge cash flow gaps so they can stay focused on growth. This case study highlights how we supported an international event organizer facing a cash flow gap caused by the timing mismatch between paying deposits and receiving client income.

Challenge

The company specializes in producing live events for musical groups across North America and internationally. Many logistics require advance bookings, meaning deposits must be paid months before the business receives payment from clients.

This timing mismatch created a cash flow strain that limited their ability to launch new projects and benefit from early booking discounts. Securing a flexible working capital solution was essential to keep the business operating smoothly and maintain project momentum.

Solution

Swoop worked on a tight timeline to secure a $110,000 working capital solution. The flexible structure of the facility enabled the business to draw down funds as needed and pay interest only on the outstanding balance.

This flexibility allowed the company to take advantage of cost-saving opportunities, manage project timelines more effectively, and launch a time-sensitive project with strong commercial potential.
