Event Service Providers
Engaging local event service providers for Summit-sourced bookings
A B2B service relationship for established event services operators
Summit Mobile Golf is a premium mobile golf simulator service. We engage independent event services businesses to execute Summit-sourced bookings under written agreement. Summit handles customer acquisition, booking administration, and customer-facing coordination; the service provider performs the assigned event services using their own personnel, processes, and operational methods.
A B2B service relationship, not a franchise
Summit engages independent event services businesses on a per-engagement basis. Service providers operate their own businesses, manage their own crews, use their own vehicles and premises, and serve multiple clients. Summit is one of their clients — not their employer or franchisor.
What Summit handles
- Customer acquisition and qualification
- Booking administration and customer contracting
- Customer-facing coordination during the engagement
- Payment processing and merchant-of-record responsibilities
- Use of Summit-owned equipment for assigned engagements
- Per-engagement compensation paid weekly in arrears
What service providers handle
- Established event services or AV production operations
- Commercial vehicles for equipment transport
- Operational premises suitable for temporary storage, when required by the written agreement
- Experienced event crew (employees or independent contractors)
- Commercial general liability and auto insurance
- Existing local industry relationships and operational expertise
Service providers determine the manner, means, staffing, scheduling, routing, and operational methods used to perform assigned services, subject only to customer-facing requirements, safety obligations, and the terms of the written agreement. Service providers remain independently owned and operated businesses serving multiple clients.
What we look for
We engage established event services businesses with operational capacity and a track record of executing professional events. The right service provider is an existing business looking to add event execution work to their service mix — not an individual looking for freelance work.

The per-engagement workflow
Each engagement is a discrete assignment that the service provider can accept or decline. There is no minimum commitment in either direction, and no continuous obligation between engagements.
- 01
Summit sources the engagement
Corporate event planners, wedding planners, channel partners, and direct customers bring booking opportunities through Summit’s sales process. Summit qualifies, quotes, and contracts with the customer. Summit remains the customer-facing contracting party for Summit-sourced engagements.
- 02
Service providers receive engagement assignments
When a booking is confirmed, Summit offers the engagement to the service provider through written assignment documentation with event details, equipment requirements, scope, and compensation. The service provider accepts or declines each assignment individually.
- 03
Service providers perform the assigned event services
The service provider handles equipment transport, setup, event operation, and breakdown. Summit remains available for customer-facing issues and post-event follow-up. Compensation is paid weekly in arrears once customer payment has settled.
Per-engagement compensation
Service providers are compensated on a per-engagement basis according to the scope and requirements of each assigned engagement. Applicable compensation terms are set out in the Service Provider Agreement and individual assignment documentation.
Compensation principles
- No upfront fees, deposits, or purchase requirements
- No royalties, ongoing fees, or revenue share owed to Summit by the service provider
- No territory purchases or geographic exclusivity costs
- Weekly payment in arrears once customer funds settle through the platform

Common questions
The questions most service providers ask before our first conversation
Is this a franchise opportunity?
No. Summit does not offer franchises and this is not a franchise opportunity. Service providers are independent businesses engaged under a written Service Provider Agreement to perform event execution services on a per-engagement basis. There are no franchise fees, territory purchases, royalty payments, or required upfront costs of any kind. Service providers remain independently owned and operated businesses providing services to multiple clients. The relationship is governed by Colorado law and does not create a franchise, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship.
Do service providers get exclusive territory rights?
No. Summit may engage multiple service providers in any geographic area based on capacity and customer requirements. Service providers are free to provide their event services to other clients — they are not exclusive to Summit, and Summit is not exclusive to them.
Do service providers need to buy equipment from Summit?
No. Summit owns the simulator equipment used for Summit-sourced bookings and provides it for use during assigned engagements. Service providers do not purchase, lease, or capitalize Summit-owned equipment.
How are engagements assigned, and is there a minimum volume commitment?
Summit offers confirmed bookings to service providers based on logistical fit, equipment availability, capacity, and operational considerations. Each assignment is offered to the service provider, who can accept or decline. There is no minimum number of bookings Summit must provide and no minimum number a service provider must accept. The relationship is engagement-by-engagement.
What happens after I submit an inquiry?
We review every submission. If there’s a potential fit, we follow up within five business days to schedule an introductory conversation. The typical path from first conversation to executed agreement involves mutual diligence, a small trial subcontract engagement to verify operational fit, and then negotiation and execution of the Service Provider Agreement. Timing varies depending on diligence, scheduling, and agreement terms.
