Music Publishing & Royalty Collection
Getting Paid for Your Music Properly Requires More Than a PRO Membership
How IQ Manages Your Publishing and Royalty Collection
IQ Artist Management handles music publishing registration and royalty collection for UK artists. That means getting your compositions properly registered with the right collection agencies worldwide, tracking every usage, and making sure the money that is generated actually reaches you.
A lot of artists lose royalties through gaps in registration rather than gaps in their music’s popularity. Songs registered incorrectly or missed from international catalogues generate earnings that nobody collects. IQ closes those gaps. Registration, administration, and collection are all handled as part of the management relationship.
Your focus should be on writing and recording; IQ handles the business rights side. We register your compositions with collection societies to pursue sync licensing opportunities. The work is systematic and always ongoing. Artists across every genre have seen the difference that proper publishing management makes.
Your Catalogue as a Revenue Source
Every song you write has a tangible financial value attached to it. The value depends directly on how well your publishing rights are being managed. Streams, downloads, live performances, sync placements, and commercial broadcast usage all generate music royalties. But, only if the compositions are correctly registered, and the usage is accurately tracked. IQ manages the publishing and catalogue side so that those royalties flow properly rather than ending up sitting uncollected.
Global Reach, Local Expertise
International royalty collection is where most self-managed artists lose money. Each territory has its own PRO and MRO collection system, and the rules differ significantly. IQ’s established relationships with agencies worldwide mean your music is registered correctly in every territory where it generates income, not just the UK ones you already know about.
Royalty Collection Without the Administrative Headache
Managing your own royalties takes time away from your work. Tracking registrations, monitoring usage across platforms, auditing statements, and chasing outstanding payments from collection societies. All of it adds up massively in real terms. IQ handles the administration end to end, so the royalties arrive without you having to prompt them.
Transparent and Timely Payments.
Royalty accounting is one area of the music industry where artists often feel they have to blindly trust a company they hardly know anything about. At IQ we provide clear reports showing what was generated, from which source, and in which territory. Payments are made on schedule, and any questions about specific statements or discrepancies get a direct answer rather than a template response.
Where IQ Puts Its Effort
IQ works closely with each artist on their own publishing situation, specifically. The main starting point is always your catalogue. We check what is registered, what is missing, and where the gaps are. From there, the publishing management is built around what applies to you, rather than a standardised process that assumes every artist’s catalogue looks the same. Because it never does and it never will.
Take Control of Your Royalties with IQ
If you want proper publishing management in place and every royalty that is owed to you actually collected, talk to IQ. The way royalties are collected and distributed changes regularly. New mechanisms from platforms, updated territory agreements, and adjustments to how PROs calculate payments. IQ keeps current with all of it, so you do not have to.
