Arranging camera finance for freelance cameramen, camera hire companies and broadcasters is by far the largest part of our business. Whilst we can never be experts in your job we do understand your equipment needs, the financial pressures you face and the business decisions you have to make to keep ahead of the game.

Many of our freelance cameramen clients come to us when they realise they are spending more on hiring equipment than it would cost them to buy that equipment. You may not be able, or want, to buy every piece of kit you need – it will often make sense to keep hiring some – but the unbalanced figures are staring you in the face. You need to consider finance or leasing options for at least some of the equipment you use – but you fear being ripped off. We’ll come up with well-priced, well-judged options – and a quote that you can judge against others. Ask us to work out the best options for you.

Yours is the most uncertain business in the broadcast media world. Working out how to finance your post production equipment needs is a constant headache.

For some, never knowing when your next job will arrive makes it impossible to work out how to balance the clamour for essential new kit against the fact that you don’t know how much the next job will bring in – or how to spread the cost against all the unknowns.

Even if you are flooded with business, you have difficult decisions to make, not wanting to turn work away but without having the space needed to do it.

You’re well known in the business. Successful, you have no worries about the future. Profits are good; your shareholders are happy and well rewarded. Nevertheless you need to be careful about how you invest in the future and, when so much rests on your financial record, ensure your decision-making process remains confidential. You need a carefully structured, confidential finance deal for your transmission equipment. We are well-known for structuring deals that meet capital adequacy requirements, ensuring that you both satisfy your auditors and keep your shareholders happy.

Or perhaps you are a small, satellite transmission company with eight channels in your play-out facility. Then along comes a multichannel. Do you want to turn away the business – or plan your way through it? How can you tell which makes commercial sense?
