You have a script. You need Film Financing before “Lights. Camera. Action!,” you’re going to need a Business Plan for your film.

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

We consult with independent filmmakers, create business plans and advise you on how to seek independent film financing.

Attracting Investors begins with a solid business plan by Business Strategies that allows investors to gauge the profit potential of your movie.

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

Financial projections show investors how and when they’ll make their money.
Vital elements investors look for are:

• Worldwide revenues and costs for comparative movies
• Projected profit
• Projected cash flow
• A detailed explanation of the assumptions underlying the financial projections for your film

Now in its sixth edition, “Filmmakers and Financing” is the industry standard. It explains in a step-by-step format how to write a business plan and includes access to a password-protected site that offers a downloadable course for writing your plan and other proven tips for attracting financing.
