The Pullman Group® LLC originates and underwrites loans collateralized by most existing entertainment intellectual property assets. Intellectual property owners can realize a substantial sum of their intellectual property value by financing future revenue streams and monetizing previously illiquid assets. The Pullman Group® LLC, thus, provides a direct source of capital to entertainment intellectual property asset owners through our funding. The group works specifically with each asset owner to develop a suitable and unique financing structure taking into account tax planning, marital, and estate planning issues.
Our Mission
The ownership and exploitation of intellectual properties, in the form of copyrights, trademarks and patents, is quite possibly the single greatest and fastest growing source of wealth in the world. To capitalize on the growth opportunities in the globally expanding entertainment content marketplace, entertainment and intellectual property creators, artists, and companies need ready access to capital. Historically, entertainment and intellectual property owners could only get substantial cash from their asset’s value by selling, while only minimal opportunities to borrow against future cash flow existed before.
The Pullman Group® LLC satisfied this growing need for capital by monetizing valuable entertainment and intellectual property assets, allowing an owner to realize the proceeds of an asset sale while keeping the upside in the future growth of the asset.
"Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing"
The Pullman Group® LLC provides capital markets access to artists, creators, and companies in the form of liquidity, leverage, and low cost financing. We will finance assets with a minimum of $200,000 in annual cash flow with no maximum boundary. The Pullman Group® LLC is the only group to have thus far been able to successfully securitize music, entertainment and intellectual property of this kind and/or create term securitizations rated at the single A-level by more than one nationally recognized rating agency, and to maintain such ratings. The Pullman Group® LLC retains 100% market-share in this area.

The Pullman Group® LLC has tailored its financing to creators and owners of entertainment and intellectual property assets to provide substantial benefits over traditional sources of capital. Typically, intellectual property owners find their most valuable assets are illiquid and undervalued. They suffer from inaccurate valuations because most traditional financiers believe intellectual property assets are not appropriate collateral for lending.
Due to the limited options of short term, low leverage bank loans and the onerous terms of venture capital, major corporations have traditionally acted as the bankers to their respective intellectual property industries. However, an advance from a record company, for example, is a fully taxable event offered with high rates of return and significant loss of control or even ownership.
Financing and securitization by The Pullman Group® LLC provides substantial financial benefits to intellectual property owners over other sources of capital. The Pullman Group® LLC works specifically with each asset owner to develop a suitable and unique financing structure, taking into account tax planning, marital, and estate planning issues. Such benefits include:
