Plan your raise

The hardest part of an indie pitch isn't the number — it's explaining how the money is structured and how investors get it back. Build your capital stack, see the gap, and model the recoupment waterfall. We'll write the plain-language pitch for you.

Where the money comes from
Your tax credit or rebate, often cash-flowed via a loan repaid by the credit itself — not from your sales. The cheapest money in the stack because it doesn't dilute your backend.
Investor cash for ownership. Last money repaid and highest risk — so it recoups at a premium and then shares in profit. This is the money you're pitching.
Deal terms
The pitch, in plain language

We're financing a ₩1,200,000 film with ₩925,000 of investor equity, alongside ₩275,000 in incentives and soft money. Equity covers 77% of the budget, fully financing the picture.

Investor money is structured to be returned first. After the sales agent's 15% commission, investors recoup their capital at 120% — that's ₩1,110,000 on ₩925,000 in — before any profit is split. After recoupment, profit is shared 50% to investors / 50% to the production.

At our base case of ₩2,160,000 in receipts, investors fully recoup and earn a 1.59× cash-on-cash return (₩1,473,000). The break-even for your investors is ₩1,305,882 in receipts — anything above that is upside.

How investors get their money back

Enter receipts that flow back to the production (after platforms/exhibitors). Break-even for your investors is ₩1,305,882.

Every number here is an estimate generated from published program rules and your inputs. Programs change with each legislative session, and qualification depends on details a calculator can't see. This is not tax, legal, or financial advice. Before you make a financing decision, confirm everything with the state film office and a qualified CPA and entertainment attorney.
