No. Never. We are administrative partners, not a record label. You retain 100% ownership of your copyrights, masters, and publishing at all times. We just make sure you actually get paid for them.

For forensic society recovery, no. We work on a strict contingency basis. We front the cost of the investigation, and if we don't find any missing money, you owe us nothing. For ongoing global administration, we take a standard 15% fee. Catalog valuations are quoted as a flat-rate project. There are no monthly retainers and no hidden fees.

Your manager is built to handle tours, routing, and record cycles. Your CPA handles your tax returns. Neither of them have the time or specialized access to dig through The MLC database looking for broken ISRCs, or the experience to audit a legacy record contract from 2004. We don't replace your team; we work directly with them as your specialized catalog backend.

No. "Desk audits" are a standard clause built right into your record contract. Labels expect them. We keep it strictly professional: we request the ledgers, run the math, present the discrepancies, and recover your money. It is standard industry business, not a personal attack.

Fixing years of broken data is not an overnight process. A deep-catalog society sweep usually takes 6 to 9 months for the funds to fully liquidate and hit your bank account. Label audits depend entirely on the size of the catalog and the messiness of the label's ledgers. We handle the waiting and the paperwork; you just get the wire transfer.

We bridge the gap. We have two decades of on-the-ground experience in the heavy and independent music scene, combined with the institutional financial precision required to hold major labels and global societies accountable. We speak your language, and we know exactly where the industry hides your money.
