What are the correct steps to finance your indie film?


With the current US finance market and economy in turmoil and sputtering on the road to success. Now is the time to convince alternative financial sources to think out side the box on what is the next boom to invest in.

There are hundred of private investment firms that are commissioned to select wise investment to grow funds and create high level yields and strong return on investment. Can your indie film be that investment?

What types of financing opportunities are available?
Two alternative funding sources I would like to recommend are, AKAMAI Capital,
Website (for more information): http://akamaicapital.com/ and New Market Growth, Website (for more information): http://www.newmarketsvp.com/.
Each of these funds offers financial options from equity; loans, hybrid financing and gap loans for specialize funding, such as film.
  • Companies unable to qualify due to stringent underwriting from traditional loans
  • The funds target capital needs from season companies
  • Companies that will assist socioeconomically distressed area’s
Your financing should include Print and Advertising to let the investor know that you are thinking about repaying the investment.
Sounds exciting, next you need to know how to qualify?
Before turning in your financial package for consideration, the company should take the following example as the investment criteria:
  • Management Team
  • Business model
  • Competitive Advantage
  • Market Solution
  • Current Sales & Marketing
  • Project Sales & Marketing
  • Exit Strategy
The above criteria should be address in your company business plan.

Each company will support management from beginning to the very end of the venture.
