TYPES OF FINANCING
BRIDGE OR INTERIM FINANCING
These loans are provided as an advance on incoming funds to a Production Company from a recognized lender, and provide Producers with cash flow so they can advance in the development stages of a production (i.e. attaching talent) before their bank loan has closed. These interim loans, or advances, are repaid in full as soon as the bank loan closes along with interest and an established financing fee.
POST PRODUCTION OR COMPLETION LOANS
Also known as finishing funds, completion loans are offered to production companies who have finished principal photography but require additional financing to complete a film.
ACQUISITION FUNDS
Acquisition funds provide Sales Agents and/or Distributors, the ability to purchase completed projects, projects in pre-productions, or projects in the final stages of post-production.
GAP FINANCING
Gap financing refers to loans secured against a film’s projected sales estimates and, in some cases, pre-sales already secured by a Distributor.
TAX CREDIT FINANCING
This is an advance against anticipated Federal and/or
Provincial/State Tax Credits offered as an incentive by
various governments looking to support Production in their
country. Tax Credit loans are recouped once the Tax Credits have been paid out. These funds are typically used to help produce the film.
