We know it’s not easy running an independent production company, especially when you're starting out.
As well as developing your creative ideas and trying to get them financed, there are all the legal and administrative considerations of running a business, and the challenge of being a good leader to a (hopefully) growing team of talented people.
That’s why we’ve created Pact Essentials, a new tailored resource designed to support Pact members in their first one to three years of business.
What's In
It
Pact Essentials is broken down into three distinct sections:
- Legal & Business
From understanding the Terms of Trade and what they mean for UK independent producers to the contracts you need for engaging on-screen talent and crew, and the policies that every UK business must have in place. - Securing Finance & Winning Commissions
Find out about public funding available across the UK, how to engage in co-productions, pitching to commissioners and working with brands. - Leadership Insights
Hear from some of the best in the business about their hard-earned lessons and how they grew their own companies, and download our indie leadership workbook.
In each section you’ll find:
- short guidance videos from the Pact team
- introductions and overviews of key topics
- links to relevant policy and contract templates
- links to webinar recordings and further resources
