BFI Economic Review, July 2022
Independent producers face unprecedented financial instability due to declining investments and limited financing avenues, which stifles project momentum and scalability. The shift from equity to debt financing, coupled with reduced public funding, makes it increasingly difficult for producers to secure long-term backing. Furthermore, restrictive regulations, like the 2018 changes to the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), have deterred private equity investors, leaving producers to surrender larger stakes in their projects for much-needed capital. This lack of financial resilience undermines their ability to sustain operations and pursue ambitious projects. Coleman Moser’s Strategic Financial Planning and Investment Optimization service offers a robust solution by guiding clients through capital restructuring, sourcing alternative investments, and advising on tax credit utilization, ultimately enabling UK production companies to stabilize finances, retain ownership stakes, and build a sustainable financial model.
