Up to 12 months interest free hire credit in London
Every producer knows the squeeze. The budget is signed off, but the money arrives in stages, and the shoot days don't wait. Kit, crew and drones all need booking long before your own client's final payment clears.
Moonshine Credit is built for that gap. It's an interest-free way to spread the cost of filming in London: you prepay for a credit package, we add bonus credit on top, and you spend it on camera hire, crew, drones and production.
Interest-free credit for kit hire, crew, drones and production
Moonshine Credit is prepaid production credit with a bonus on top. You choose a package, pay upfront or spread the cost over 3 or 12 months at 0% interest with iwocaPay, and use the balance across as many jobs as you like. No interest to pay, whichever package you choose.
One balance covers everything we do, from lenses and lighting to drone pilots and full production support, plus cross hires of kit we don't stock. For each job we send a quote at your locked rates, and once you sign it, the amount is taken from your credit.
Three credit packages, with up to 15% bonus credit
There are three packages, plus larger Enterprise and Flagship packages on request. All prices are + VAT, and the minimum purchase is £15,000 + VAT.
| Package | You pay | Credit, upfront or Pay in 3 | Credit, Pay in 12 | Or spread it, 0% interest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core | £15,000 + VAT | £16,800 (+12%) | £15,900 (+6%) | £1,250 + VAT a month for 12 months |
| Studio | £20,000 + VAT | £22,500 (+12.5%) | £21,250 (+6.25%) | £1,667 + VAT a month for 12 months |
| Partner | £25,000 + VAT | £28,750 (+15%) | £26,875 (+7.5%) | £2,083 + VAT a month for 12 months |
| Enterprise and Flagship | On request. Larger packages with a bigger bonus, arranged directly with us. | |||
In real money, that's £1,800, £2,500 or £3,750 of bonus credit when you pay upfront or in 3, and £900, £1,250 or £1,875 with Pay in 12. UK clients pay VAT at 20% on the purchase, and we issue a VAT invoice. VAT never adds to or reduces your credit.
Spread the cost of filming over 3 or 12 months, interest free
You don't need to find the full package price in one go. We've teamed up with business lender iwoca, so you can pay upfront, or spread the cost interest-free over 3 or 12 months with iwocaPay:
- Pay upfront: pay the full amount in one go. Full bonus.
- Pay in 3: 3 monthly payments. No interest. Full bonus.
- Pay in 12: 12 monthly payments. No interest. Half the bonus.
Your full credit goes on your account as soon as the payment is through. Pay in 3 and Pay in 12 are provided by iwocaPay and subject to their approval. A company director signs up, and iwoca runs a quick credit and ID check. iwoca decides how much it approves, which may be less than the pack, and then you can choose a smaller pack or pay the difference directly. Only UK limited companies and LLPs can use it. Enterprise and Flagship packages are paid directly to Moonshine.
For production companies juggling several jobs and staggered client payments, it's a simple form of film production finance with no interest to pay.
Why producers choose a Moonshine credit account
Your credit never expires
There's no use-it-or-lose-it deadline. Your credit has no expiry date and stays on your account even if you don't book for a while, so you can buy ahead of a busy season or a run of commercials and use it when you need it.
Your rates are locked for 12 months
Credit is spent at the Moonshine rate card attached to the agreement you sign, and those rates are locked for 12 months from the date you buy. When you're quoting your own clients months in advance, knowing your kit and crew costs won't move makes budgeting far easier.
Everything in one place
Log in to the client portal to see your balance, spend and invoices, without chasing anyone for a statement. You log in with a one-time code sent to your work email.
Nothing comes off your balance without your OK
Credit is a prepayment for Moonshine services. Each spend needs your signed confirmation, so nothing is taken from your balance without your OK.
Cross hires paid from your credit
Need kit we don't stock? We source it from trusted suppliers and handle the booking, and it comes out of your credit like any other booking. Pricing is the supplier price plus 35% on the first £500, 20% on the part from £500 to £2,000 and 15% on anything above £2,000, per cross hire, and each one is quoted upfront as its own line. Cross hires depend on supplier availability.
How Moonshine Credit works in four steps
- Choose a package. Pick Core, Studio or Partner, or talk to us about Enterprise and Flagship.
- Sign the credit agreement. We send you the Moonshine Credit Account Terms (version 1.6, with our rate card attached as Schedule 1) to sign online.
- Pay. Pay upfront, or spread the cost over 3 or 12 months with iwocaPay at 0% interest. Your credit and bonus go on your account once payment is through.
- Book as normal. For each job we send a quote at your locked rates. Once you sign it, the amount is taken from your credit and we confirm your new balance.

What our clients say
Last minute, I needed a full camera crew to shoot David Guetta in Cannes for a promo tied to the new Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie. The Moonshiners absolutely came through.
They sourced all the kit I needed, including the DJI Ronin 4D and a full lighting setup, and supplied a brilliant DOP, 1st AC, and Gaffer. The team travelled to Cannes in their unit van, and the shoot went without a hitch.
I highly recommend them to producers and agencies, not just because of how practical and professional they are, but because they’re genuinely great people to work with.
