The things that cost you the account
The venue is agreed before the permission is
A site is signed off and sold to the client, and the permission it needs turns out to take longer than the lead time left, or not to be available at all.
Permits are identified with the venue, not after it, and anything that cannot be permitted in the time available is said before the client is told.
Two hundred people, one arrival window
A movement planned as one block fails the first time traffic behaves normally, and the gala starts with a third of the room missing.
Transport planned in waves around the venue’s access and timing, with a written fallback for every element and on-site coordination on the day.
The lines this type contracts most
The same contract covers every line. These are simply the ones this kind of buyer opens with.
MICE & incentives
Transport waves, venue sourcing, permits and gala evenings with a written fallback per element.

The ones that come up every season
Is there a minimum volume to open an account?
No. The account is opened on verification, not on volume. A single FIT file is quoted the same way a season allocation is.
Does the trade account cost anything?
No. There is no joining fee and no annual charge. Verification exists to keep net rates confidential, not to filter by size.
Are there shop stops or commission stops?
No. There are zero shop stops and zero third-party incentives inside the vehicle. Nothing is added to the day that you did not sell.
Open the account, then send the brief
Verification is usually one working day. After that every brief comes back within 24–48 hours with a named contact on it.
