Publishing Admin,down to the decimal.
Decimal registers your works, collects the royalties, and accounts each cent to the catalog it belongs to. And we check: what a catalog should earn, against what actually arrived. When the numbers don't match, we claim the difference with Collective Management Organizations, and make sure you get paid what is due.
WHAT WE DO
Music publishing administration falls into four activities: register, collect, check and claim, account. The standard is the same for each: fast, precise, and fully visible to rightsholders.
01
Register
We register works directly with collecting societies worldwide, and track every registration through to confirmation. Rejections and conflicts get fixed, not filed away.
02
Collect
We collect all publishing income through direct society memberships and our partners globally. Digital rights in 9 months from the stream; offline rights in 12.
03
Check & Claim
We calculate what your catalog should be earning, compare it with what was collected, and file the claim when the numbers don't match. On your behalf, until it is paid.
04
Account
Every collected cent is accounted to the catalog it belongs to: clean quarterly period accounting, commission shown in the open, and statements that trace back to their source lines.
CHECK & CLAIM
This is the step the industry skips.
We track where a catalog is being used: streaming, radio and TV broadcast, and live performance. From that usage we calculate what it should be earning, and compare it with what was actually collected. Not a yearly audit; a running check on every income stream.
When the numbers don't match, we file the claim: at the society, at the source, on your behalf. And we follow it until it is paid. Elsewhere, missing income is the writer's problem to spot. Here it is our job to find.
