service charge compliance check
Check how your event service charge is structured and disclosed so it holds up and your team is paid right.
Free. No sign-up. Your numbers stay yours.why this matters
Service charges on private events are where a lot of venues quietly carry risk. How the charge is labeled, what it covers, who it goes to, and how it is disclosed on the contract all matter, and the rules differ by state. Get it wrong and a profitable event program turns into a liability.
This check walks you through how your charge is set up and flags where the structure or the disclosure could expose you. It is a starting point for a conversation with your own advisor, not legal advice, but it tells you fast where to look before the next contract goes out.
the check finds the gaps. sway runs the event program around them.
