The finance for Red Table is currently raised on a per-production basis. If you want to invest in a production, you can buy any number of units of investment up to the production budget – which will be used to pay for marketing, print costs, props, insurance, and so on – for a cost of £100 per unit.
After the books have been closed for the production, any money remaining in the accounts will be allocated equally to each unit of investment, with an upper limit of 110%. After the investors are paid back the money they have invested, plus their 10% return on investment, the cast, crew, and company share in any profit that the production has made.
Investors, like cast and crew, are entitled to examine the books of the production in the password-protected area of this website.
Example:
A production costs £160 to put on. We issue two shares of £100 each, which money then funds the production completely, leaving £40 in the bank.
If total income = £100, the distribution to investors is £100 + £40 = £140, which is £70 per share
If total income = £170, the distribution to investors is £170 + £40 = £210, which is £105 per share
If total income = £200, the distribution to investors is £200 + £40 = £240, which is £110 per share and £20 for the profit share.
