Better Funding for Creators

Artists, songwriters, and producers are frequently seeking ways to fund their projects, and quite often it can seem like there aren’t many options available to them. Historically, some private financial institutions have even taken advantage of creatives, seeking their copyrights as collateral and ultimately stripping them of the rights to their music.

As a pioneer in entertainment financing, Sound Royalties built a different way: a funding process that puts cash in the hands of creatives and rightsholders without taking ownership of their copyrights.

Our funding process is simple and available to any creative who earns at least $5,000 in annual royalties from a specific royalty stream. At the end of the day, we work with music creators and rightsholders in even the most unique of circumstances to fund their professional and personal dreams.

The Sound Royalties Process from Start to Finish

One of the most common questions we get asked about royalty financing is, “How does it work?” Here’s exactly what happens when you work with us, from first contact to funding.

Step 1: Apply and Submit Your Royalty Statements for Review

After completing a short application form, you’ll work directly with one of our Royalty Specialists to submit your royalty statements. This can include data from any stream that applies to you, whether that’s royalties from your PRO, label, distributor, publisher, or another source.

Our team will review your statements, evaluate the earnings, and offer three personalized funding options.

Step 2: Choose The Best Funding Option Tailored to You

Our team will present three funding options tailored to you, from which you can choose what best suits your goals. You decide the term, you decide the amount.

Once you decide, we will send you the necessary paperwork to keep the funding process moving and provide you with progress updates each step of the way.

Step 3: Complete Final Verification and Receive Your Funds

Lastly, we do a final verification. This includes acknowledgments from your royalty payors and a call from our team to walk you through the final details.

Once everything is confirmed, your funds are delivered directly to your preferred bank account. Transactions proceed to funding as soon as we receive the necessary documents and payor acknowledgments.

That’s it! We welcome you to the Sound Royalties family.
