Sound Recording Finance

In the world of sound recording, having the most up to date equipment is essential if you are to win new contracts – and stand out against your competitors. But new technology comes at a very high price – in an industry where profit margins are continually being driven down. Being able to pay for the equipment you need to win new contracts is almost always bound to be an issue – with most people turning to finance or leasing to spread the costs.

Whether you are a freelance sound engineer, a recording studio or an audio post production house –mixing music albums, creating sound for film or television, previewing – you will need a high level of capital investment to remain attractive to clients and potential clients.  We can help you structure a finance deal that leaves you better able to win the contracts you need to make your business successful.

Case Studies:

• New audio suite: A top west end post production company needed about £150,000 to fit out and equip a new audio suite based around a Digidesign Icon desk.  We arranged a finance leasing deal enabling them to spread the cost over three years.
• Recording studio: One of the UK’s most successful audio engineers (think Keane, Madonna, Massive Attack – he’s recorded albums with them and many others) wanted a home recording studio, creating a duplicate of his London studio, to give him flexibility about where he worked.  He invested £80,000 in a 1990 SSL 72 channel mixing console, on hire purchase and so spreading the cost over five years.
