BFG Underwriting's Due Diligence Process for Film Debt Financing
At BFG Underwriting, revenue potential is evaluated by analyzing how likely a project is to generate predictable and verifiable income. We review distribution agreements, pre-sale contracts, certified credit commitments, tax incentives, and other contracted revenue sources to determine the strength and reliability of projected cash flows. Our assessment focuses on several key factors:
- Contract Quality: Are distribution and pre-sale agreements legally enforceable and issued by credible counterparties?
- Revenue Certainty: How much of the projected revenue is already contracted versus dependent on future sales?
- Territory Coverage: Do distribution agreements cover major domestic and international markets?
- Payment Timing: Do projected revenues align with production and financing requirements?
- Counterparty Strength: Are distributors, broadcasters, or streaming partners financially capable of meeting their obligations?
The objective is to separate realistic, document-supported revenue projections from speculative forecasts. Stronger revenue certainty typically improves the project's financing profile and lender confidence. Verified Revenues. Realistic Forecasts. Stronger Financing Packages.
Why a Fixed Due Diligence Fee Signals a Transparent Engagement
A fixed fee removes the ambiguity that percentage-based advisory arrangements introduce at the early stage of an engagement. A producer knows the exact cost of assessment before committing, and that cost does not change based on how the project is later structured or valued. That transparency is intentional; it reflects the same standard of clarity BFG Underwriting applies to every financing package it builds.
A Lender-Ready Package Improves Approval Probability Significantly
After completing due diligence, BFG Underwriting prepares a professional financing package designed specifically for lender review. This includes a credit summary, production budget analysis, cash flow projections, documentation of distribution and pre-sale agreements, and a clear credit memo outlining the project's strengths and risks. By organizing and presenting information in a format lenders expect, we help producers avoid common application issues and improve readiness before submission.
Our process is designed to identify concerns early, strengthen documentation, and present the project professionally. A flat $1,000 due diligence fee covers the review, risk assessment, and preparation of a lender-ready financing package. Better Preparation. Stronger Submissions. Greater Confidence.
