The Challenge
The client was experiencing strong underlying profitability and demand, however, like many growing businesses in the events and entertainment sector, it faced working capital pressure driven by upfront supplier payments required to support operations and inventory. Despite these pressures, the business demonstrated solid fundamentals, including strong revenue generation, high gross margins, and consistent profitability. With continued demand across events and venues, the opportunity was to stabilise cash flow and support ongoing growth.
The Solution
Fifo Capital provided a $250,000 trade finance facility to support supplier payments and provide additional working capital flexibility.
The structure was supported by:
- Personal guarantees from directors
- Cross‑entity support via corporate guarantees
- All‑PAAP security across trading and related entities
Importantly, the facility was designed to work alongside the client’s existing funding arrangements, providing incremental liquidity without disrupting operations.

With the facility in place, the client achieved improved working capital stability and greater operational flexibility.
The funding allowed the business to:
- Maintain supplier relationships through timely payments and smooth cash flow across supplier cycles
- Strengthen its balance sheet position through gradual tax debt reduction
- Continue capitalising on demand across events and entertainment channels
