Structured Capital Group’s creative risk-syndicated structuring is an integration of banking and insurance elements.  A credit facility is created utilizing both equity and debt, thus strengthening investor and lender confidence.  Their success is in their expertise in arranging and establishing the required risk-syndication in combination with various financial vehicles, greatly reducing the risk of default by the funded entity.  The applied structuring positions the client for future growth and strategic mobility, giving the business a positive outlook in the market.

When necessary, SCGI can incorporate offset lending, credit insurance, bonding, credit enhancement and a variety of other financial products, providing the capability of undertaking projects in countries where traditional banking or credit is not available.  This structuring protects against the credit, currency and political risks in foreign markets.

SCGI’s involvement is to arrange the proposed syndication and related funding.  Primarily the risk syndication would consist of financial participation from:

• Borrowing Entity
• SCGI
• Insurance Company
• Bank(s)

The main purpose of SCGI’s financial structuring is for the maximization of the client entities value at the lowest risk of default.

Other related risk coverage includes:

• Credit Enhancement Advisory
• Risk Syndication
• Offset Lending
• Currency Risk
• Devaluation
• Builder’s Risk
• Performance Guarantees
• Credit Insurance
• Restructuring
• Securitization
• Political Risk
• Specialized Insurance Instruments
• Asset Management and Insurance

 

Structured Capital Group’s film financing program represents debt and equity elements arranged in a risk free environment through a special purpose vehicle pledged as collateral for a bank credit facility. This will include Domestic and Foreign markets, tax credits and rebates, along with gap and equity commitments which are then monetized and backed by letters of credit or bankable guarantees.

 We look at advanced projects from experienced producers with significant attachments (talent, director etc.) and a quality commercial script. We prefer to be involved in film projects geared towards family carrying an MPAA rating of no more than PG-13.

 We require a minimum of 15% of the budget to be covered by the borrower in cash collateral or equivalent guarantee in the form of a letter of credit. The investors can expect a significant return depending on their specific role in the transaction. Ultimately, our goal is to reduce the risk exposure with the production and filming of the picture in a tax beneficial state or province. The risk is essentially controlled and the upside can be virtually unlimited, depending on the quality of the film. The risk is spread among all the deal participants and secured by sales, deferred sales, tax benefits, excess risk coverage, leading to significant cost reduction.We plan to keep revenues from Domestic and approximately 50% of revenues from foreign territories to apply as a risk reduction to the investors.

 Through alliances and ventures, we are currently involved in various levels of production and distribution and are exploring others with quality groups and organizations to further our capacity and make an indelible mark in the film industry.SCGI brings vast experience in creative financing and risk syndication and credit enhancement.

Over a number of years SCGI has developed new financial products combining elements of insurance and banking, eliminating the risk of default and allowing risk participation in different forms by combining its expertise with various business alliances in both the insurance and private placement markets. The combination of its affiliations and its innovative approach have given SCGI the ability to raise almost unlimited capital and financing for a transaction that it evaluates as suitable, and where its participation will add substantial value to bringing a project to fruition.
