Financial sources

 Financial sources for film production 

 

Finance Sources	Pros	Cons
Bank Loan	You are in full control. Reliable, easily accessible.	Must pay all back so must make a good profit.
Crowd Funding	Fast way to raise finance with no upfront fees.	Risk of fraud.
Grant/Funding	Fast and easily accessible.	Take a long time to be approved.
Private Investment	Control over your own investments.	Not as much as you would like.
Self-funding	Can control input.	Struggle if not successful.
Local authority/ Public investment	Don’t have to pay it back	Not a lot of money involved

 

I have filled this table in order to show the advantages and disadvantages for each finance source to gain an understanding of the individual one. I researched each individual type of finance source in order to get this understanding. Makes it easier to access each different types of financial source.
