You have a script. You need funding. After all, you can’t make a movie without money. Before “Lights. Camera. Action!,” you’re going to need a business plan.

That’s where Business Strategies and Louise Levison come in.

Business Strategies is a consulting firm specializing since 1988 in writing business plans for independent filmmakers. The business plan we write for you will be the most valuable tool in your moviemaking toolbox.

Attracting Investors Begins with a Louise Levison Plan

From an investor’s perspective, your movie is an opportunity to make money, not a work of art. It’s also a big gamble. A solid business plan allows investors to gauge the profit potential and risk of your movie.

We’ll draft a business plan that maximizes your chances to secure the money you need to make your movie.

Financial projections – whether they stand alone or constitute one part of your business plan – show investors how and when they’ll make their money.

Vital elements investors look for are:

• Revenues and budgets for comparative movies
• Projected income statement over three years for your movie
• Projected cash flow over three years for your movie
• A detailed explanation of the assumptions underlying your projections

Your financial projection will include low, medium and high projections for domestic and foreign theatrical sales and ancillary revenues.

Now in its fifth edition, Filmmakers and Financing is the industry standard. This book explains in a step-by-step format how to write a business plan and includes a CD that offers proven tips for writing an investor-winning plan.
