AceShowbiz - Allegro Finance, a London-based lending platform focused on the media sector, has introduced a $500 million credit facility to support film and television production.

This substantial funding line results from a strategic joint venture and senior lending arrangement with entities managed by Elliott Advisors UK Limited. The platform was established in 2024 by industry experts Jamie Lowe, Peter Touche, and Sam Collett, who bring extensive experience in film and TV finance, structured credit, and investment banking.

The newly launched credit facility aims to finance a diverse range of international film and television projects. This initiative aligns with Allegro Finance’s goal to become the foremost non-bank senior lender to the global screen industries.

Jamie Lowe, partner and Chief Capital Officer at Allegro Finance, emphasized that the platform is designed specifically for the film and television sector. Having previously worked with The Ingenious Group and Great Point Media, Lowe explained that "this partnership represents the launch of a purpose-built institutional credit platform for the global film and television industry."

He added that Allegro Finance is structured to operate differently from traditional media financiers and banks by combining specialist sector underwriting expertise with long-duration institutional capital. This approach creates a scalable, non-bank debt solution tailored to the needs of producers.

The first investments and partnerships using this $500 million funding line are expected to be announced within the coming weeks, marking a significant step for Allegro Finance as it sets out to reshape financing options in the global film and television landscape.
