Bridge eligible production incentives within a documented and professionally managed financing plan.
Bridge Capital for Film and Television Productions
Film Tax Credit Financing Services
Financely structures film tax credit financing for producers seeking capital against eligible production incentives, rebates and tax credits. The facility can bridge production expenses before the relevant authority completes verification and payment.
Production financing structured around documented incentives and eligible production expenditure.
Fund Production Before the Incentive Is Paid
Film and television incentives are commonly received after qualifying production costs have already been incurred. Tax credit financing can bridge the expected incentive and support the approved production budget.
We review the production structure, financing plan and incentive documentation before presenting the opportunity to suitable entertainment finance providers.

What is film tax credit financing?
It is a bridge facility provided against an eligible film or television production incentive that is expected to be received after qualifying expenditure is verified.
Must the tax credit already be approved?
Providers often require preliminary approval, an eligibility opinion or other reliable evidence that the production qualifies for the incentive.
How much of the expected incentive can be financed?
The advance depends on the jurisdiction, certainty of collection, eligible expenditure and deductions for fees, reserves and contingencies.
Can the facility be combined with other production financing?
Yes. Tax credit financing may sit alongside equity, pre-sales, minimum guarantees, distribution receivables and other approved sources.
Does Financely provide production capital directly?
Financely provides advisory, structuring and placement support. Third-party lenders and entertainment finance providers make final funding decisions.
