Music Royalty & Publishing Administration Services

Royalty Solutions Corp has provided white-label royalty administration since 2011. We function as an outsourced royalty department for record labels, music publishers, distributors, and management companies handling everything from statement processing to mechanical licensing on a transparent fee-based model with no commission. Our team operates behind the scenes under your brand, giving your clients and partners a seamless experience while you retain full ownership of the relationship. Whether you need end-to-end royalty operations or targeted support for a single function, a catalog registration project, a one-time audit, a publishing administration overlay, RSC scales to fit. No long-term contracts. No percentage of your royalties. Real people doing real work.

White label music publishing administration is RSC's flagship service. We operate as your invisible back office, delivering full-service publishing administration under your brand. Your songwriters, catalog partners, and sub-publishers interact with your company, while RSC handles the registration, licensing, collection, and accounting work behind the scenes. Built for distributors, management companies, and labels that want to offer publishing services without building the infrastructure, our white label music publishing administration program covers every income stream a modern publisher needs to monitor: performance, mechanical, synchronization, and digital. Because we are fee-based rather than commission-based, you set your own client-facing rates and keep the margin.

What's Included

  • Songwriter and catalog registration with PROs, the MLC, and CMOs worldwide

  • Mechanical and synchronization licensing under your brand

  • Statement processing, royalty calculation, and payment distribution

  • Sub-publishing administration and at-source collections

  • Branded songwriter statements and client-facing reporting

Who It's For

Distributors, labels, and management companies that want to offer music publishing administration as a service without building an in-house publishing department.

Royalty Accounting & Statement Processing

Royalty accounting is where errors get expensive and where deadlines drive the calendar. RSC handles the full statement processing cycle for labels and publishers — ingesting income from distributors, DSPs, PROs, the MLC, and sync agents, applying contract terms, calculating splits, and producing audit-ready statements on your schedule. Our royalty accounting team has decades of combined experience reconciling complex income streams across multiple currencies, reserve structures, and recoupment scenarios. Every statement is reviewed by a human before it leaves our system. The result is statement processing that holds up to scrutiny — from your artists, from your auditors, and from your own internal finance team.

What's Included

  • Quarterly, semi-annual, or annual royalty statement runs on your cadence

  • Contract setup, advances, recoupment tracking, and reserve management

  • Multi-currency income processing and FX conversion

  • Statement delivery in your format and branding

  • Royalty payment processing via ACH, wire, or third-party platforms

Who It's For

Independent record labels and music publishers that need accurate, on-time statement processing without staffing a full royalty department in-house.

Royalties that never get collected almost always trace back to a registration gap. RSC's catalog registration service ensures every composition, sound recording, and ISRC in your catalog is registered with every society that pays — domestically and internationally. We handle catalog registration across ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR, the MLC, SoundExchange, and the major foreign CMOs, including the documentation, splits, and ownership data each one requires. For new catalogs we register from the ground up. For existing catalogs we audit the registrations already in place, identify gaps, and complete the work. Done right, catalog registration is the foundation everything else in royalty administration sits on.

What's Included

  • Songwriter and composition registration with all US and foreign PROs

  • Work registration with the MLC for mechanical royalty collection

  • Sound recording registration with SoundExchange for digital performance royalties

  • Catalog registration with foreign CMOs for international collections

  • Registration audits to identify and close existing gaps

Who It's For

New publishers and labels building their first catalog, and established companies that suspect their existing catalog registration is incomplete.

Whether you are preparing for a sale, defending an estate filing, raising capital against your catalog, or simply pricing an internal transaction, you need a defensible valuation. RSC provides music catalog valuation services grounded in NPS (net publisher's share) and DCF (discounted cash flow) analysis, supported by current market comparables and a working knowledge of where music catalog pricing actually sits today. Our catalog valuation work covers both publishing and master recording assets, with detailed back-up documentation that holds up in negotiation, due diligence, and audit. We are not brokers and we do not take a percentage of any resulting transaction, the valuation fee is the only fee, which means the number we deliver is the number we believe.

What's Included

  • Net publisher's share (NPS) analysis across all income streams

  • Discounted cash flow modeling with documented assumptions

  • Market comparable analysis using current transaction data

  • Catalog valuation for publishing, masters, or combined assets

  • Written valuation report suitable for buyers, lenders, and estate filings

Who It's For

Catalog owners considering a sale, estates and trusts requiring formal valuations, and investors performing due diligence on a music asset purchase.

Business Management for Music Companies

Music companies have operational needs that look like a normal business and operational needs that look like nothing else. RSC provides business management services purpose-built for labels, publishers, and management firms — combining traditional finance and accounting support with the music-specific workflows our team has spent decades inside. From bookkeeping and accounts payable through cash flow planning, vendor management, and royalty integration, our business management work plugs into your existing systems and your existing team. You keep the strategic decisions; we run the recurring operational work that keeps the company moving.

What's Included

  • Day-to-day bookkeeping and accounts payable/receivable management

  • Royalty integration with general ledger and reporting systems

  • Cash flow forecasting and operational budgeting

  • Vendor and platform management (Reprtoir, Revelator, Trolley, and others)

  • Monthly financial reporting tailored to music industry KPIs

Who It's For

Independent labels, publishers, and management companies that have outgrown a basic bookkeeper but are not yet ready for a full in-house finance team.

Mechanical licensing in the post-MMA world has become both more standardized and more complex. RSC handles every flavor of mechanical licensing your release strategy requires — blanket licenses through the MLC, song-by-song requests through HFA, and direct mechanical licensing negotiations for catalog deals and special projects. For labels, this means controlled composition compliance, accurate CRB rate application, and clean reporting to publishers. For publishers, it means making sure every covered use is licensed and every mechanical royalty is collected. Mechanical licensing is detail work, and details are what we do.

What's Included

  • MLC blanket license administration and monthly reporting

  • HFA song-by-song mechanical licensing for physical and digital releases

  • Direct mechanical licensing for cover recordings, compilations, and catalog deals

  • Controlled composition clause analysis and compliance

  • CRB statutory rate verification and audit support

Who It's For

Labels releasing covers, compilations, or licensed catalog, and publishers who need confidence that every mechanical license is filed and accounted for correctly.

Distributors live or die by the accuracy of their royalty processing. RSC handles distribution royalty processing for music distributors of every size — ingesting raw DSP data, applying client deal terms, calculating splits across artists and label partners, and producing the statements and payments your distribution business runs on. Our distribution royalty processing engine supports tiered deals, variable rates, recoupable advances, multi-currency settlements, and the full complexity of modern DSP reporting. We deliver white-labeled statements your clients can rely on, while you keep your engineering team focused on what they should be focused on: signing and serving artists, not building royalty infrastructure.

What's Included

  • DSP data ingestion and normalization across Spotify, Apple, Amazon, YouTube, and more

  • Custom deal term application — flat splits, tiered rates, advances, and recoupment

  • Branded statements delivered to your artists and label partners

  • Payment processing through ACH, wire, and Trolley

  • Reconciliation reports and variance analysis between platforms

Who It's For

Music distributors that want enterprise-grade royalty processing without building it in-house, and white-label distribution platforms serving labels and DIY artists.

Royalty Audit

If you suspect you are being underpaid, a royalty audit is how you find out. RSC conducts royalty audits on behalf of artists, producers, songwriters, labels, and publishers — examining statements from labels, distributors, publishers, and licensors to identify underreported income, calculation errors, and contract breaches. Our royalty audit team knows where the money typically goes missing: streaming reconciliation gaps, sync backend errors, mechanical underpayments, foreign collection shortfalls, and reserve releases that never quite arrive. Every royalty audit is conducted under confidentiality, with findings documented in a format suitable for settlement discussions or, if necessary, litigation support. Audits are billed on a fixed fee — we never take a percentage of recovered amounts.

What's Included

  • Statement examination across streaming, mechanical, sync, and performance income

  • Contract review and application of negotiated rate terms

  • Foreign income tracing and at-source vs. receipts-basis analysis

  • Written audit findings with quantified underpayment claims

  • Support during settlement negotiation and follow-up reaudits

Who It's For

Artists, producers, songwriters, and rights holders who suspect underpayment, and labels or publishers conducting outbound audits on their licensees.
