Sound Royalties Expands with TV Production Financing

West Palm Beach, FL, September 10, 2025 - In a significant advancement for the entertainment industry, Sound Royalties has introduced a pioneering TV production financing solution tailored specifically for production companies, studios, and content owners. After a decade of successfully providing creative-friendly financing solutions primarily in the music sector, the company is now addressing the unique financial challenges faced by TV producers.

Sound Royalties' new offer allows TV production entities to receive advances on contracted income from agreements with networks or streaming platforms. Traditionally, these payments can often take an extended period to arrive, leading to financial hurdles and delays in production. By offering upfront funding, Sound Royalties is helping to eliminate roadblocks, ensuring that creators maintain momentum through various production phases, including filming, marketing, and post-production.

Previously, production companies lacking the backing of larger entities faced a stark financing landscape, often forced to self-fund or resorting to costly factoring arrangements that could impact long-term financial returns. The introduction of this financing option marks a monumental shift in empowering independent studios to thrive creatively without compromising their ownership or facing unnecessary delays.

Alex Heiche, the Founder and CEO of Sound Royalties, expressed enthusiasm about the potential impact on the industry: “The TV sector is one of the most critical platforms for storytelling today. Unfortunately, many production companies find themselves in limbo waiting for payments from licensing agreements, which can take an exorbitant amount of time to materialize. By providing our financing solutions, we are committed to removing barriers for creators, allowing them to focus on their work without the fear of losing ownership.”

Already, Sound Royalties has secured deals with notable companies in the television sector. February Entertainment, known for the Emmy-nominated show A Tiny Audience, and JK Media Group, creators behind the award-winning bilingual docu-reality series, are among the first to benefit from this innovative financing strategy.

Michael Bizenov, Managing Partner and President of Sound Royalties, emphasized the long-standing relationships the company has built with creators over the years: “Our commitment to advancing the interests of music and entertainment professionals has always centered on understanding the unique financial needs of creators. Our new TV financing is a testament to our adaptability and dedication to supporting forward-thinking television production companies.”

Industry professionals have welcomed this new funding option enthusiastically. Maurice Keizer, an Executive Producer at February Entertainment, noted the transformational nature of the financing. “The absence of financial support from traditional institutions has stifled creativity for too long. This new option offers a lifeline for studios like ours and allows independent producers to push their creative boundaries without fear.”

Similarly, Sebastian Jimenez, CEO of JK Media Group, weighed in on the historical context of financing in the industry, stating, “Access to funding has been a significant stumbling block for production studios for decades. Sound Royalties is changing that narrative by offering essential financial tools that most other industries have long been able to access.”

Unlike conventional financing models, which often impose personal guarantees and collateral requirements, Sound Royalties crafts agreements with fixed payments over a predetermined term, allowing creators to focus on their projects instead of navigating financial complexities. Moreover, the advances do not necessitate a full recoupment, further enhancing ongoing cash flow during financing periods.

This latest development comes on the heels of Sound Royalties' recently launched YouTube Financing initiative earlier this year, which provided digital content creators with upfront funding, ensuring that they too can retain full rights and creative control over their channels.
