I can't see any investor putting $10K - $15K in a start up catering business.
Try to borrow from friends and family.
Do they have any deposits?
Fico 700+??
try a business start up loan with Midwest Corporate Credit
Personal loan from personal tax return - reach out to Micah
SBA has a micro loan for start ups up to $50K from the SBA website.

Go to to a pawn shop and get cash from personal assets.

this is some solid ass advice if they have assets you could try a 7(a) as well but its doubtful itd go through as the requirements are fairly high for most merchants. catering tends to be a very high risk industry in my humble opinion truck breaks down or they cant get booked they go belly up fast.
