About Blue Fox Financing

What do we do?

Blue Fox Financing is the first digital platform in the entertainment industry to streamline and expedite film finance opportunities for filmmakers looking to work with a lending marketplace that prides itself on transparency and efficiency.

Blue Fox Financing has diligently expanded its network, successfully onboarding over 50 lenders onto its marketplace. These lenders vary from conservative to high risk and everything in between.  All loans are geared around either debt and/or a gap component financing.
 
Even the most seasoned producers, on average, are acquainted with only a fraction (10%) of the lenders available through the platform. The continual influx of new lenders approaching Blue Fox Financing underscores the platform’s appeal, as these financiers seek opportunities aligned with their criteria.
 

Independent producers traditionally grapple with limited connections to private lenders, who offer widely varying fee structures for financing options such as tax credits, U.S. minimum guarantees, international pre-sales, gap lending, Navigating these disparate fees, including the closure of an optimal rate and timeline, can be a daunting task.

Upon receiving a new project, Blue Fox Financing establishes a comprehensive checklist encompassing the requisite documents that producers must provide. This checklist serves as a universal guide, aligning with the criteria of various lenders. The platform’s success is rooted in its ability to connect lenders with qualified projects they might otherwise overlook. Producers, in turn, appreciate Blue Fox Financing’s commitment to securing the best financing deals for their films, fostering a mutually beneficial relationship in the competitive landscape of film financing.

 
Why not go straight to conservative financing? 
 
Producers equipped with the necessary resources can strategically mitigate their budgetary constraints and minimize equity risks by securing debt or gap financing.  However, accessing competitive interest rates from major banks poses a major challenge, as these institutions typically refrain from considering loans below the mid-seven-figure range. In such instances, these same banks often direct producers to Blue Fox Financing or actively recommend assistance from the Blue Fox Financing to help navigate the financing landscape.
