Royalty advances, catalog acquisitions, publishing deals, and funding strategy for artists who own their work. Active investor backing. Deals closed.
You're earning royalties every month. A royalty advance converts a portion of that future income into cash today — so you can fund a project, invest in marketing, or cover operational costs without selling your catalog or signing a 360 deal.
We structure advances based on your verified royalty history, catalog ownership, and distribution reach. No credit check. No label involvement. The advance is recouped from your ongoing royalty stream over the agreed term.
GE Music Group acquires music catalogs from independent artists who want immediate liquidity. This is a clean exit — you receive a lump sum, we take ownership of the catalog, and you move on with capital in hand.
We have active investor backing for acquisitions. We are not brokering on your behalf and waiting for someone else to fund it. If the deal makes sense, we close it.
Tell us about your catalog — number of tracks, annual royalty income, distribution, and ownership status. Takes 5 minutes.
We review your royalty history and ownership documentation, then present a valuation range and acquisition offer within 5–7 business days.
We verify ownership chain, streaming data, and income history. Standard due diligence for any catalog transaction.
Legal documents are drafted, signed, and the acquisition payment is wired. We handle the catalog transfer and PRO administration.
Whether you need a co-publishing partner, a full publishing acquisition, or just proper administration to make sure your royalties are actually being collected — we structure deals that reflect what your catalog is worth.
We take a share of your publishing in exchange for active exploitation — sync pitching, playlist placement, licensing strategy. You get a cash advance and a team working your catalog. Most useful for artists actively releasing.
Most independent artists are leaving money on the table through unclaimed PRO royalties, international collections, and mechanical licensing gaps. An admin deal plugs all of it — typically a small admin fee, no ownership transfer.
If you own your publishing and want to convert it to capital, we buy it outright. Best for established catalogs with documented income — multiples depend on catalog age, revenue stability, and ownership clarity. Submit an inquiry for a valuation.
Not sure which deal type is right for you? That's what the valuation consultation (Section 05) is for. Submit an inquiry and we'll tell you which structure makes sense for your catalog before any negotiation begins.
Most artists go into catalog deals with no reference point — and lose. Entertainment attorneys can help with the contract, but they typically don't provide valuation. We do.
Before you take an offer from anyone — whether it's from us, another buyer, or a publisher — we can help you understand what a fair number looks like, what the key variables are, and what negotiating leverage you have.
Historical royalty income from DSPs. Monthly average, growth trend, and revenue concentration risk (too dependent on one platform).
Catalogs with 3+ years of stable income command stronger valuations. Older, evergreen content trades at a premium.
Clean chain of title — you own the masters AND publishing — significantly increases valuation. Any co-ownership complicates deals.
Catalogs with established sync history or strong placement potential for TV, film, and ads are valued at a premium versus streaming-only.
Independent catalog deal multiples vary significantly based on catalog size, genre, income stability, and market conditions. We benchmark against current market data to determine where your catalog falls.
A catalog supported by an active artist with a growing audience holds value better than one from a retired or inactive artist.
If you're not sure which funding path is right — advance, catalog sale, publishing deal, or some combination — the strategy consultation is the starting point. We map your catalog, your income, and your goals against the available structures and tell you what the optimal path looks like.
Advance deals vary widely in rate, recoupment structure, and term. We help you understand what to ask for, what's non-negotiable, and what the market rate is for your catalog profile.
If you want to sell to a fund or major publisher, your documentation needs to be clean: ownership records, royalty statements, and licensing history organized and audit-ready.
Getting capital is step one. Deploying it correctly is step two. We consult on how to allocate an advance or buyout into marketing, production, and infrastructure to maximize return.
Market conditions affect deal terms. We track the independent music finance market and can advise on whether now is the right time to sell, advance, or hold.
