# Cash Advances by VenuePilot: Short term Liquidity for Independent Venues
## VenuePilot gives our clients the opportunity to take out cash loans on an event-level basis. Upfront cash advance amounts are given based on previous ticket sales data and projected sales data. These advances allow you to take out a loan that goes toward a specific event, and is paid as tickets sell without any price increases.
### What are our Cash Advances?
#### Many businesses find traditional cash advances restrictive, burdened by lengthy contracts and complex fine print. We're changing that by offering a truly different approach. Our goal is to provide you with quick access to capital, based on your proven track record, without tying you into a contract. You get the liquidity to meet your immediate needs, for an incredibly transparent 75 cents a ticket, and NO change in fee price or the price the customer pays. It's financial freedom, simplified.
##### To get started, we recommend first contacting us at clientsupport@venuepilot.co to help walk you through the process.
