Obtaining the financing to bring a film to life can seem like the hardest step.
We specialise in brokering the funding of international film and television productions, via our contacts to European banks and finance houses, plus equity investment via our affiliation with an American investment house.
We focus on senior-secured financing opportunities, collateralized with film assets, such as pre-sales, receivable contracts, tax credits, minimum guarantees and negative pickups. Our financing options include, amongst others, bridge loans, film union deposits, working capital, development money and gap loans.
We can facilitate grants, tax rebates and subsidies offered by public bodies in Europe, the Americas, and Middle and Far East. This reduces the capital lending requirement and the risk to the finance houses, resulting in a low rate of interest or ROI.
Finance Houses
We have established relationships with European Banks who are our main source of funding.
Our Advanced Presentation Package is the foundation of our consistently high-quality applications for funding from our European finance houses and American equity financiers.
Our European funders are underwritten by the European Union’s financial arms, the European Investment Fund, the European Investment Bank and InvestEU, further reducing risk and enabling low interest rates.
Equity Finance
We can also obtain Equity Finance through our affiliation with the American equity investor Strategic Capital Consultancy.
