Tax Credit Loans
Loan Collateralized by state tax incentives. These incentives can come in the form of a credit or rebate. The lenders on the Blue Fox platform specialize in this type of financing structure and can lend the money before a film starts production, during production, or after production has been completed.
US Min Guarantee
Funding put toward production costs is collateralized when a US distributor pre-commits to a project before it’s made. Depending on who the distributor is (i.e Netflix, Disney, Fox, etc) lenders are more comfortable to lend against the minimum guarantee contracts vs new distributors that do not have the same record as established credible distributors.
Foreign Pre-Sales
Funding against preliminary international sales that the borrower has already made on their project. Pre-sales are made with distributors before film production. The sale amount is predicated on strength of the project’s marketability and box office potential in each respective territory. This is typically based on a combination of cast, director, producer, and script.
Gap Loans
Gap financing is a form of mezzanine debt financing where a producer wishes to complete their financing by securing a loan against unsold territories. production, during production or after production has been completed.
