COMPANY DEVELOPMENT

Laughter productions are unique because we a new fresh thing and we think we will be welcomed by the UK audience with open arms because there is a massive hole in the market for a UK produced cartoon comedy and  it has never been done before and with similar comedies such as family guy and south park being such a success in the UK we are certain to be a massive success.

But to do this we need you to help us by infesting £500000 into our company, we are aiming to spend this money on production, advertisement and producing the movie and we hope to keep a small sum for emergencies. After our movie is produced we will refund your money and we will split the profits 30-70, If our movie is successful we hope to carry on our partnership and give you a share in the profits at a fair rate of 30%, as well as the £500000 being refunded. The movie will be released worldwide but with a heavy focus of advertising on America and Britain.
