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.

OUR SOLUTIONS

Capital Structure Advisory

This offering addresses the critical issue of financial instability that independent film and television companies often face due to limited funding options and reliance on unpredictable cash flows. Our Capital Structure Advisory service is designed to help these companies achieve a well-balanced capital structure, enabling them to meet both immediate operational needs and long-term growth goals. By optimizing the blend of debt and equity financing, we enable clients to minimize financial risk and maximize resource allocation for strategic investments.

Access to Alternative Funding Sources

Independent producers face unique funding challenges, often contending with highly competitive and limited traditional funding pools. This service directly addresses these barriers by leveraging our firm’s extensive network and industry expertise to connect clients with alternative sources of capital, including private equity, venture capital, and corporate partnerships. By accessing these non-traditional funding avenues, clients diversify their capital base, achieving financial stability and agility in a volatile market.

Tax Credit and Funding Utilization

For independent production companies, maximizing tax credits and grant funding is vital for boosting cash flow and managing costs. Yet many companies lack the expertise to fully leverage these opportunities. Our Tax Credit and Funding Utilization service focuses on optimizing access to public-sector financial support, helping clients navigate complex tax credits and grants available in the UK and internationally. By ensuring clients capitalize on every eligible incentive, this offering enables them to allocate more resources toward their creative and operational goals.
