Frequently Asked

Plain answers to common questions.

No. Before we share an information memorandum we have a short call, and we only share it with people it might suit and who meet the criteria that apply to that opportunity.

Private investors with investing experience, family offices, and professional introducers such as accountants and advisers.

We check each one against the list on our Television page: the production company, the rights, the budget, the finance plan, the investor structure, the order money is paid out in, and the risks. That check isn't a guarantee or an endorsement, and it's no substitute for your own due diligence.

Register your interest or book a short call. If an opportunity might suit you, we share its information memorandum and documents. You take your time, ask questions and take your own advice. If you go ahead, we run identity checks and walk you through the Investor Agreement before anything is paid.

Because a number on its own tells you very little. Each opportunity's target return, how it would be paid, the expected term and the risks are set out together in its information memorandum. Any return is a target, not a promise, and you could lose all the money you invest.

No. Our television opportunities don't qualify for EIS, SEIS or any other investor tax relief, so they have to make sense on commercial terms alone.

Usually longer than people expect. Each opportunity states an expected term, but broadcasters and distributors often pay late and there's no way to sell early. In some cases it could be several years.

Yes. Film and television investments are speculative and high risk. Only invest money you can afford to lose.

No. Film TV Group isn't authorised to give financial, tax or legal advice. We provide introductions and information. Take independent professional advice before you invest.

Sometimes. Camilla Storey, one of our founders, is a producer of The King's Badgeman. Where anyone at Film TV Group has an interest in an opportunity, we say so on its page and in the information memorandum.

If anyone is paid for introducing you to us, we'll tell you in writing who and how much before you invest.

Risk Disclosure

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

1. You could lose all the money you invest

Film and entertainment investments are speculative. Many projects do not generate the returns forecast, and some return nothing at all. You should be prepared to lose the entire amount invested.

2. You are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong

Most film investment opportunities are not regulated activities. The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is unlikely to apply and the Financial Ombudsman Service is unlikely to consider complaints relating to these investments. Learn more.

3. You won't get your money back quickly

Film and television projects take time to produce, deliver and get paid for, and broadcasters and distributors often pay later than planned. There's no public market for these interests, so you can't sell early. Each opportunity states an expected term, but your money could be tied up for longer, in some cases several years.

4. Don't put all your eggs in one basket

Investing more than 10% of your net investable assets in high-risk investments is unlikely to be appropriate. Net investable assets exclude your primary residence, pension and life insurance policies. A well-diversified portfolio reduces the risk of any one investment causing serious harm.

5. There is no tax relief on our television opportunities

Our television opportunities don't qualify for EIS, SEIS or any other investor tax relief, so they need to make sense on their commercial terms alone. If a project is ever structured to qualify for a relief, its page will say so clearly, and the value of that relief would depend on your circumstances and could change. Speak to an independent tax adviser.

6. The office does not provide advice

Film TV Group presents opportunities for consideration by qualified investors. We do not provide investment, tax or legal advice. You should take independent professional advice before committing capital.
