How it works

Borrowers list. Capital partners fund. Orvi runs the middle.

A borrower lists
A producer, studio, creator or event company brings money it is owed: a contract, an invoice or tickets already sold.
Orvi assesses
We check the payer, the paperwork and the timing against four years of deal records, and propose the advance, tenor and pricing. The capital partner makes its own credit decision.
Capital partners fund
The listing goes to partners it fits. Each lends directly, on documents in its own name. One or more partners can fund a listing. Each lends its own share under its own agreement.
Repayment flows back
The payer pays into a bank escrow account, and what is due is paid to capital partners from it. Orvi tracks and services every collection.

For producers and creators

Raise against money you're already owed.

A platform owes you for a film you delivered. A multiplex owes you last month's collections. A brand owes you for a campaign. Orvi arranges financing against it now. When the payer pays, the money goes into a bank escrow account.

Raise capital

Who it's for: Producers, studios, distributors, creators and event companies.
What we look at: The contract or invoice, who owes you, how much, and when it's due.

In plain words

Receivable: Money owed to you under a contract.
Tenor: How long until the payer pays.
Accrued revenue: Money a platform has reported but hasn't paid out yet.

For capital partners

Lend against cash flows that are already contracted.

NBFCs, family offices, credit funds and institutions lend on Orvi. Every deal is bilateral and you are the lender. Live listings run 30 days to 10 months, owed by streaming platforms and broadcasters. Catalogue financing against video-platform income is in pilot. Cinema chains, brands and ticketing platforms come next.
