Example

How a firm like yours could run it

A firm like this

A small core team of producers and editors, with freelance crews, makes corporate films, ads and product photography.

A typical month

Each production starts from script and storyboard approval. Pre-production tasks and the paperwork checklist must be complete before the shoot. Crew and equipment costs are recorded against the project. Two review rounds are included, and extra rounds are quoted. Each stage is invoiced as it's approved.

Where the work gets hard

  • Crew and equipment costs were paid well before the client paid.
  • Edit rounds multiplied.
  • Location permissions and talent releases were sometimes missing.

What MSMEPulse gives you

  • Cash comes in at each stage, matching costs.
  • Paperwork is complete before every shoot.
  • Extra edit rounds are agreed and billed.
