06 · Separate Business BudgetsNot Agency Fees

Dedicated Project Expense Account

Required Business-Purchase Account

Restricted Sub-Account or Charge Account

ALA KEFAK LLC will establish a separate business checking sub-account, controlled charge account, or restricted virtual business card for approved project purchases. Àṣẹ Haus should not receive access to the deli’s primary operating account.

The account should be funded with an initial $2,500 project expense reserve for paid advertising, printing, approved props, small production purchases, platform charges, and other authorized launch expenses. The reserve is separate from all professional fees and final-travel expenses.

Agency access must be limited to the dedicated account or card. Purchases will be made only for this project, receipts will be retained, and ownership will be able to review transactions directly. The account should be replenished when the available balance falls below $750 if additional approved purchases remain.

Unused funds remain the property of ALA KEFAK LLC.

Paid Advertising Reserve

$750–$1,500

For locally targeted Meta ads, Google promotion, boosted opening announcements, or another approved channel.

Print & Physical Reserve

$1,000–$2,000
