The IFCIC is an establishment in charge of facilitating access to credit for cultural companies. Thanks to funds awarded by the public authorities (notably the CNC), the IFCIC stands as a guarantor for bank loans given to producers of cinematographic or audiovisual works, technical industries and cinema operators, as well as companies that operate in the sector of culture. At the send of September 2013, outstanding loans given or guarantied by the IFCIC reached over 775 M€ in credit, including 485 millions in favour of the cinematographic production and distribution.
