Get access to royalty payouts forever or for a limited number of years

Rights holders can choose to list their music catalogues for a temporary period of time or for as long as the music rights are active. In either case, for as long as you own shares in your account, you’ll keep on receiving royalty payouts.

Permanent listing

Music royalties will be shared in perpetuity, which in most cases equals the lifetime of the artists + 70 years. Valuations and multiples of such listings are usually a bit higher, as the royalty payouts will go on for a long time.

Temporary listing

The rights to receive royalty payouts are only shared for a limited number of years (e.g. 5, 10 or 12 years) and see full ownership return to the original rights holders at the end of the term.
