FAQ Fresh Music Marketing
These are answers to the most common questions artists have about catalog sales, advances, and distribution.
How Do I Qualify For An Advance?
To qualify for an advance, you need to have a consistent income stream from your music such as royalties from streaming, publishing, or sync placements.
We’ll review your earnings data and estimate how much you can qualify for. The process is simple, transparent, and doesn’t require perfect credit.
Once approved, you’ll receive an offer outlining your advance amount and repayment terms.
How Can I Sell My Catalog?
Selling your catalog is easy with Fresh Music Marketing.
You simply share your catalog details including your publishing, master, or writer share and we’ll handle the valuation, negotiation, and connection to verified buyers.
You’ll always have full visibility into the offer and final terms before making a decision.
How Does Fresh Music Make Money?
Our business model is fully transparent. We earn a small percentage commission or fee only when a transaction such as an advance or catalog sale is successfully completed.
There are no upfront costs, hidden charges, or subscription fees. You only pay when you get paid.
How Soon Can I Get The Money?
In many cases, funding can be approved and released within 7–10 business days after documentation is complete. For some smaller advances, turnaround can be even faster.
Our goal is to make sure you get the capital you need quickly without delays or red tape.
Will I Lose Ownership Of My Music?
No not necessarily.
When you take an advance, you’re not selling your rights. You simply receive upfront funding against future royalties.
Only in catalog sales do ownership transfers occur, and even then, you can choose to sell full or partial rights depending on your goals.
What Type Of Music Income Qualifies For Funding?
Any income that’s trackable and consistent can qualify including streaming royalties, publishing income, sync licensing, neighboring rights, and distribution earnings.
We work with artists, producers, and songwriters across all genres and platforms.
Can Independent Artists Apply Too?
Absolutely.
Fresh Music Marketing was built for independent creators who don’t have label support.
As long as your music generates royalties or has proven potential, we can help you access funding or sell your catalog professionally.
What’s The Difference Between An Advance And A Catalog Sale?
A Music Advance gives you cash now based on future royalties but you keep ownership of your catalog.
A Catalog Sale means you sell all or part of your music rights in exchange for an upfront lump sum.
We help you explore both options to decide what’s best for your situation.
Is My Information Kept Confidential?
Yes, 100%.
All catalog data, royalty statements, and personal information shared with us remain strictly confidential.
We only use your data for evaluation and never share it without your explicit permission.
Can You Help With Distribution And Promotion Too?
Yes.
Through our partnership with Sony The Orchard, we offer professional music distribution to all major platforms worldwide.
We also provide strategic marketing guidance and industry connections to help you reach a larger audience and boost your revenue potential.
