Please note that a UK company producing for a UK broadcaster must be a Pact member before registering a TV production. If the UK company is not a Pact member, we will direct you to our membership team to finalise membership first before we proceed with the TV registration.
We will usually be in touch about your registration within 48 hours from receipt of the production form. The time taken to complete registration will depend upon a number of factors, however to help expedite the registration process, as well as submitting a Production Form (using the link below), please also contact Annette Atanda (annette@pact.co.uk) with the following details:
For TV Registrations
• the production budget, excluding COVID-19 costs
• the name of the commissioning broadcaster
• a letter of financial guarantee – this is a letter from the commissioning broadcaster and is an Equity requirement. Most UK broadcasters are very familiar with these letters, however Pact can provide a template upon request
For SVOD Registrations
• the production budget, excluding COVID-19 costs
• the name of the commissioning SVOD platform
• a letter of financial guarantee – this is a letter from the commissioning SVOD platform and is an Equity requirement. Most UK and global SVOD platforms are very familiar with these letters, however Pact can provide a template upon request. Please inform us if your commissioning SVOD platform will not be providing this letter and we will discuss alternative routes to registration.
• Rights clearances – please contact Helen Hogan (helen@pact.co.uk) in relation to Equity clearances that you require for your production
Pact cannot issue production specific cast Forms of Engagement until registration is complete.
Parent company membership (if required) usually takes 48 hours from receipt of a completed application form and payment.
