FUNDING QUESTIONS
Start with the structure.
Royalty advances
Compare upfront funding with the future income committed to recoupment. Term length, retained income and downside scenarios matter alongside the headline amount.
Full or partial rights sales
Explore the trade-off between liquidity today and future participation. Legal ownership, income interests and the scope of the rights sold need to be clear.
ILLUSTRATIVE SITUATION
An owner receives a catalogue offer but wants to explore keeping some or all of the rights. A Capital Review would compare the sale with an advance, borrowing or retaining the existing income.
