Advice on Funding
Creative Industries - Routes to Finance
Guide is a major initiative by the ICAEW's
Corporate Finance Faculty, supported by the Creative Industries
Federation and 52 organisations in the UK's creative economy. This
guide has been written for creative organisations that are looking
to leverage funding and investment from both traditional and
non-traditional sources. It's the first comprehensive and bespoke
guide for Britain's creative industries.
It outlines:
- Practical approaches to financial preparation
- Professional advice
- Public investment
- Philanthropic support and private capital
Together these help organisations to develop financial
sustainability and resilience. The guide is based on in-depth
interviews and contributions by more than 80 professionals - from
national cultural institutions, creative businesses, government
agencies, investors, lenders and advisory organisations, who were
all part of the original research process.
