Company Overview

Iron Box Capital is a specialist film and TV financing company. Established in 2015, Iron Box is run by actual film makers.

The experience of the whole team and advisory board is second to none.

USPs

We are film makers. People that understand the whole process.

 
 

With Colin Brown as Chairman, our network of contacts across the global film industry are second to none.
We have created a range of different ways for people to invest. Whether via Amersham’s SEIS and / or EIS Fun
ds or alternatively the Investee Companies for SEIS and EIS projects.

We want our investors and their advisers to enjoy the whole film experience and have fun. This can include watching the filming and meeting the ‘stars’, going to film premieres, or even having a role as an extra!

Investment Strategy

The entire focus is on creating audience driven films. It is this that drives the commercial success of films. That is why we focus on genres of film that have a strong track record in delivering profits, and also in working with teams that have a global reputation for excellence. It is worth making the point that smaller budget films can often make greater profits than major films, because they are more targeted for specific audiences.

 
 

In today’s world we also target the inline market for films, across Netflix, Amazon Prime, In flight films, video on demand and so on. As more opportunities to view grows, so does the demand for films.

Key Services and Funds

There are several options for investors. We are part of Amersham’s general SEIS (“ASEIS”) and EIS funds (“ACDC”), where clients can invest generally across a variety of industries or specifically in the respective Iron Box Film & TV SEIS and / or SEIS channels. Where clients invest via the funds, the investment will be allocated across several film & TV investee companies which in turn will be spread across a portfolio of films. Investments are SEIS and EIS qualifying.

We have also set up investee companies to look after every stage of the production process to ensure both quality and delivery. This allows more than just raising and investing money, and enable us to offer a superior product. These companies are based on specific genres of film, or teams of specialist people. There are currently 7+ films ready to go….with many more to come.

There are opportunities to benefit from both SEIS and EIS when you invest in these companies.
