Get Invoice Finance for Film and TV Production Companies Today

Invoice Finance for Film and TV Production Companies helps production businesses release cash without waiting for milestone payments. It is an invoice finance facility where a lender advances money against eligible film and TV customer invoices, such as those linked to broadcast, streaming distribution, production services or delivery milestones. Once the customer pays, the remaining balance is released less fees or discount. Producers often use invoice finance to bridge the gap between high upfront production costs and the date invoices settle, reducing pressure on overdrafts and helping subcontractors and teams get paid on time.

Benefits for film and TV cash flow

Pricing is typically expressed as an advance or discount cost, and many decisions happen quickly once documentation is in place.

Common invoice finance types

Invoice discounting (confidential)

Confidential invoice discounting advances against selected invoices, usually on a revolving basis, once they meet the provider’s criteria.

Decision times are often 3 to 7 working days for an initial view, while a full revolving facility can take 1 to 3 weeks to set up once documents are ready.

Initial decisions can be 1 to 2 weeks, assuming complete information and suitable documentation.
