Go to Club → Sponsors to see available offers. New offers arrive every Friday; you can hold up to four open offers at once.

Sponsor Term	How It Works
Base payment	Paid every Monday morning, guaranteed regardless of results.
League points bonus	Paid whenever you earn at least one point in a league match.
Agreement duration	How long the contract lasts before you need to renew.
Negotiation	You can try to improve the offered terms, but the candidate may also withdraw entirely.
Replacing	You can swap sponsors at any time by paying a compensation fee.

> **Info:** For new clubs, prioritise a high base payment over high point bonuses. You need a guaranteed income while you find your feet. Once your team wins consistently, a bonus-heavy sponsor becomes more valuable. > **Warning:** Always have an active sponsor. An empty sponsor slot wastes significant money every single week. > **Info:** Hiring a PR Manager (Club → Staff) unlocks better sponsor negotiation outcomes. ## **Spending Wisely** Your weekly outgoings include player wages, staff salaries, building upkeep, and loan repayments (if any). A few rules of thumb: - Only spend money you already have. Never buy a player on borrowed money without a clear repayment plan. - Base your budget on guaranteed income only — sponsor base + ticket sales + gastronomy. Do not count on wins for your core budget. - Keep your weekly balance healthy. Check the Balance Sheet regularly (Club → Finances → Balance Sheet). - Do not take out loans speculatively. Debt spirals are the most common way managers end up in trouble. > **Info:** The best long-term income strategy is growing your stadium capacity, maintaining a top-quality sponsor, and steadily selling trained players at profit [Starter Guides](https://support.goalunited.org/collections/31)
