• Why should I invest with you?

      Here are several reasons why it is a great option to invest with us. Read more here. 

1) Fix Returns. By investing with us, you can enjoy a relatively high ROI with relatively low risk. Read about how we can contractually guarantee high returns here. 

2) No Gambling. The repayment of our bridge loans are independent of box office results. There is no need to gamble on the financial success of a movie. 

3) Tax Deductions. You can take advantage of tax strategies recommended by our in-house CPA using IRS tax codes such as section 181 and section 179. Read more here. 

4) Repaid First. We are typically the senior lender in the pre-production phase. Bridge loans are meant to be short-term and high-interest. It is in the borrower's best interest to repay us as soon as they secure long-term financing for their project. 

5) Reduced Risk. All our loans are collateralized with various means, to include script copyright, distribution rights, business assets, tax credits etc. 

6) Low Competition. Have you ever heard of the Blue Ocean Strategy? A simple Google search would reveal that there are only a handful of lenders that provide the same bridge loan services for the entertainment industry. Regardless, our vertically integrated network of lending partners make the competition virtually irrelevant. 

7) Get Involved. Be a part of exciting movie production projects. Perhaps your investment just might be used to produce the next Hollywood blockbuster. The possibilities are endless.

• How will my investment be protected?

​      All investments inherently entail risks. However, we have measures to ensure that we reduce risks for our investors and for ourselves. More details found here.

      1) First of all, your investment and the promised returns are bound by contract. This arrangement takes form as debt securities with our firm. When requested, we are legally obligated to return your principal along with the agreed interest amount. We have never failed to meet our obligations in this matter. 

      2) Second, all our loans are collateralized. In the unlikely event that a producer or production company fails to repay the funds they borrowed, we would still be able to recoup the funds. 

      3) Third, our strategic partnerships virtually eliminate risks of loan defaults. For example, one of our main borrowers is a special effects powerhouse that is able to produce high quality CGI products at costs around 20% of the industry average. They are expected to outcompete virtually all other players in the special effects space. Hollywood Bridge Loans takes advantage of these kinds of unique relationships to produce loans at very low risks. 

      4) Moreover, low competition exists in the bridge financing space for the entertainment industry. Nevertheless, our vertically integrated system makes competition virtually irrelevant. 

      5) Additionally, first lien protection entails that our bridge loans are the first debts to be repaid by producers and production companies. It also entails repayment before the movies even hit the silver screens, so box office results are irrelevant.

      6) We also lend against the same sources of repayment as banks, including equity pledge and completion guarantees.

​

• What do you mean by "a vertically integrated system of lending partners"?

​      We have an established network of investors, lenders, and production houses that are involved in our lending practices. Notably, we have a system in place where our lending company specifically fundraises for the needs of our affilaited production houses and other entertainment industry partners. We also reinvest our own money and that of affiliated partners. 

​

• What is your relationship with Base FX and SL Experiences? 

​      Hollywood Bridge Loans has a strategic partership with Base FX and SL Experiences, such that our company was founded ​specifically to fundraise for their activities. We take advantage of these special relationships as a foundation to sustainably serve our investors and expand our presence in the entertainment industry. Due to our special relationships with these firms, we are able to instill trust among our borrowers, who are often affiliates with these well-known companies. 

​

• What makes Hollywood Bridge Loans uniquely qualified as a lender in the entertainment industry? 

​      We are uniquely qualified for several reasons. For starters, our unqiue relationships with production houses have led to a vertically integrated lending system in which we can expedite loan requests and maximize use of investor funds. Nevertheless, not only are we lenders to major production houses in Hollywood, but we are​ also able to proficiently operate under reduced risk and offer exclusive tax strategies to our investors. As a lender, we have an impeccable track record and frequently finance projects that have already been successfully underwritten twice. Additionally, our company exclusively lends towards projects that are about to start shooting or are about to be delivered, with attractive risk-adjusted terms.

• What tax strategies can you offer to investors that cannot be found elsewhere? 

      While the principles that we apply in our recommended tax strategies can be replicated, the opportunity to utilize them can be very exclusive.

      Under Section 181 of the IRS tax code, the funds that you invest with us can potentially be fully written off your taxes. The maximum write-off would be $15 million. This is because the funds you invest would be directly used in the production of Hollywood films. Please note, however, that 2025 is the final year that this applies. Tax code Section 181 was discontinued under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. 

      Applying Section 179 of the IRS tax code, we can offer a software purchase agreement for lines of code from proprietary AI software for CGI. Paired with a lease-back to the original production house, you can gain profit while also writing off your purchase.

      These opportunities are exclusively offered to our investors. Contact us for more details. 

​

• How long would it take to get my investment back?

      To see your investment double from principle, it can take as little as under six years. This is based on calculations from the Rule of Seventy-two. For 14% annual ROI, it would take 72/14=5.14 years.

      To receive your investment's first payout, please wait after the first year. We can return your principal along with the agreed interest. You may also opt to keep your investment with us to accumulate additional returns. ​
      If you need to take your money out before the end of the first year, please give us at least 90 days advanced notice, so that we can ensure that the funds are available. It is possible that the funds may be returned to you sooner than that timeframe. The fund manager would reimburse you based on the duration that the amount was invested.

• What does a typical financing project look like with Hollywood Bridge Loans?​

      While we conduct various forms of bridge financing, we commonly lend out capital secured through invoices for completed projects. This form of accounts receivable financing may take shape as lending funds for a completed special effects project commissioned by a well-known company such as Disney. Because invoices are typically net-120, the special effects company has to wait a long time before they can get paid for a completed project they submit to Disney. Since a renown organization such as Disney is considered a credit-worthy company, there is little-to-no chance that they would fail to pay the invoice to the special effects company. However, since the special effects company may have to pay its employees and work on other projects, cash flow is vital. Hollywood Bridge Loans can lend out funds to the special effects company (the borrower) so that they can keep working on other projects. The loan would then be collateralized using the invoice to Disney. Alternatively, this same process is sometimes replicated through factoring, such that Hollywood Bridge Loans would take over ownership of the invoice from the borrower altogether.
