Seller Readiness

Before you approach buyers.

Preparing your catalog documentation before approaching buyers can save 30–60 days in your deal timeline.

1

3 Years of Royalty Statements

You can provide 36 months of revenue statements from your distributor, PRO, label, or publisher.

Why it matters: Pre-organized statements allow buyers to verify income immediately instead of waiting 2–4 weeks.

2

Contracts on File

You have signed contracts from your distributor, publisher, or label proving your ownership and revenue share.

Why it matters: Ready agreements eliminate weeks of back-and-forth with third parties.

3

Consistent Revenue History

Your catalog shows stable or growing income with no significant revenue declines year-over-year.

Why it matters: Stable revenue requires minimal explanation, preventing extended valuation reviews.

4

Verified Ownership of Revenue Streams

You can prove ownership or control of the master recordings, publishing rights, or income streams you are selling.

Why it matters: Clear ownership documentation prevents legal review delays and deal cancellation risk.

5

No Active Disputes

Your catalog is free from copyright claims, lawsuits, or ownership disputes.

Why it matters: Clean title allows immediate closing — disputes can take months or years to resolve.

6

Platform Dashboard Access

You can grant read-only access to Spotify for Artists and other platform dashboards.

Why it matters: Direct dashboard access allows instant verification instead of waiting weeks for data exports.
