Sub-licences for breakout records

Structured advances typically run for 6 to 36 months or 2 to 7 years. Sub-licences are tailored to the record. All terms are written in plain English with transparent recoupment.
No. Capindie does not take ownership of your recordings or compositions. Structured advances involve a revenue share for a defined period. Sub-licences are fixed-term agreements with clear scope.
A structured advance provides upfront capital that recoups from future royalties over a set period. A sub-licence is a fixed-term agreement for a specific record, typically used when that record is already gaining traction and needs additional support.
Once an advance is fully recouped, we offer optional buyback and step-down mechanisms. The specifics are agreed upfront and documented clearly in your agreement.
