Music ROYALTY RECOVERY
The gap between what your music earns and what you actually receive is often bigger than you’d think.
Where Uncollected Income Actually Sits.
If your music has been generating income that hasn’t reached you, the money doesn’t disappear. It sits. Collecting societies hold undistributed royalties, sometimes for years, waiting for the correct registration information to arrive so they can pay out. The problem isn’t always that the money isn’t there. The problem is that nobody has gone looking for it properly.
When the System Can’t Find You.
This happens more often than most artists realise. A track gets registered incorrectly with PRS or PPL. A co-writer’s share is attributed to the wrong party. A recording goes into neighbouring rights distribution without a linked performer profile. Streams accumulate, performances happen, sync fees get processed, and the income sits in a system that doesn’t know where to send it.
You see the results
Royalty Recovery is a hands-on engagement. Not a report telling you what to do. I do the work.
We Start With What We Know For Sure.
The first stage is a flat fee of £200. That covers a thorough investigation into where your income is, what’s been collected, what’s sitting unclaimed, and why. At the end of that stage you’ll have a clear picture of what exists and what recovery looks like. From there, we agree the next steps together based on what I’ve actually found rather than what we assumed at the start.
Scopes, Timelines & What To Expect.
Recovery work varies enormously depending on catalogue size, how long the problem has been running, how many collecting societies are involved, and whether international collection through affiliated societies is part of the picture. Sync fees and mechanical royalties are handled on a case by case basis. I’ll always be clear about scope and realistic about timelines before any further work begins.
This isn’t a quick fix. Chasing income through collecting societies takes time, and some of it takes patience. But for artists sitting on uncollected income they didn’t know about, the outcome is worth it.
