What is a prospective sponsor?

• A. A sponsor who has already proposed an event
• B. A sponsor who approaches Bezique to propose an event, may be involved, but the event remains on the usual proprietary basis
• C. A sponsor who only attends as an attendee
• D. A sponsor who pays after the event

Answer: (B)

A prospective sponsor is a potential sponsor—someone who might back an event and begins discussions about how they could support it. In this context, the person who approaches Bezique to propose an event fits that idea: they’re exploring a sponsorship, may get involved in planning, but the event remains on the usual proprietary terms, with Bezique keeping control. This captures the sense of early, exploratory involvement before a formal sponsorship is agreed. The other scenarios describe situations that aren’t about a sponsor who is considering backing the event: someone who already proposed the event, someone who only attends, or someone who pays after the fact.
