Don't wait for HMRC

How Adsum helped fund a short film series

“The process with Adsum was really quick and straight forward. We enquired on the Tuesday and the funds were in our account by the end of Thursday meaning we could pay our costs and continue with our next series of films. Who knows how long it would have taken if we waited for HMRC.”
