갖추다 = get the necessary equipment, wardrobe, personnel, etc. in place. It emphasizes not lacking what's necessary.
준비하다 = prepare something in anticipation of something. It emphasizes the action and the result of the preparation.
e.g.
- 저희 호텔은 200개의 객실을 갖추고 있습니다 = Our hotel has 200 guest rooms available.
- 이번 행사를 위해 재미있는 프로그램을 준비했습니다 = We've gone and created a fun program for this event.
