Your budget answers "how much." Your Finance Plan answers "from where."
Every investor asks the same question: where's the rest of the money coming from? loqyn's Finance Plan auto-populates from your budget and layers equity, grants, tax offsets, and marketplace deals in real time — giving you a complete, balanced funding structure before the conversation starts.
Free tier requires no credit card. Finance Plan available from Screen Ignite.
The Finance Plan is the pivot point — where budgeting ends and the investor conversation begins.
"The budget's done. Now an investor wants to see the Finance Plan. I've got three days and a spreadsheet template from 2017."
Every independent producer knows this moment. The budget is finished, but the work that actually closes funding — the Finance Plan, the funding structure, the gap calculation — hasn't started yet. And it lives in a completely different document, disconnected from the budget, rebuilt from scratch each time.
- Finance Plan built manually from a template — no link to the actual budget
- Budget changes don't flow through to the funding structure — it's always out of date
- Private equity gap calculated by hand — and recalculated every time something moves
- Investor terms modelled in a separate spreadsheet — profit share, copyright split, pro-rata all manual
- No single document that says: here is every dollar, where it comes from, and on what terms
A complete funding architecture — not just a spreadsheet
The Finance Plan shows where every dollar of your budget comes from: the source, the amount, the percentage of budget, and the terms. All layers, all connected.
Automatic
Tax Offsets & Producer Offset
Calculated from qualifying spend in your budget. Locked in if you meet the criteria — no application required.
Applied
Government Equity & Screen Agency Grants
Federal and state screen agency contributions. Competitive, but structured — and loqyn builds the spend-to-contribution ratios automatically.
Applied
State Location & Post Incentives
Location-based funding tied to geographical spend. Linked directly to your budget's spend allocation by state or territory.
Marketplace
Pre-Sales & Distribution Advances
Territory pre-sales and distribution advances. Add them as they're confirmed — the private equity gap adjusts in real time.
Private
Equity Investors
Individual investor tranches with profit share, copyright allocation, and pro-rata ownership calculated automatically. Model multiple investors with different terms.
Calculated
Private Finance Gap
What's left after every other source. This is the number you take to investors — and it updates in real time as every other line moves.
From locked budget to investor-ready Finance Plan
Three paths into loqyn's Finance Plan — all of them faster than a blank spreadsheet.
The questions every investor asks — and what they actually need to hear
A Finance Plan isn't a document you hand over. It's the foundation for a conversation. Investors don't just want to see the numbers — they want to know that you understand them.
loqyn's Finance Plan is built around the questions sophisticated investors actually ask: not just "how much do you need?" but "how much are government sources covering?", "what's the true at-risk capital after offsets?", "what do I get back before you take a producer fee?".
When your Finance Plan is built in loqyn, those answers are already there — calculated automatically, consistent with your budget, and ready to present.
"Where's the rest of the money coming from?"
Every source listed, every dollar accounted for. The Finance Plan shows the full stack — not just your ask.
"What's my true at-risk capital after the tax offset?"
Total Equity Less Offset is calculated automatically. Sophisticated investors evaluate this figure — not the gross equity ask.
"What profit share am I getting for this level of risk?"
Investor tranches, profit percentages, and copyright splits are modelled individually. Change one figure and every dependent calculation updates.
"Have you maximised government support before coming to private equity?"
loqyn structures the Finance Plan to build from automatic funding first — offsets, location incentives — then applied, then private. The answer is already in the document.
"What happens when the money comes back — who gets paid first?"
The Finance Plan feeds directly into the Recoupment Waterfall — the contractual payout order that turns this question into a signed term sheet.
