Royalty Exchange Offers Flexibility
Royalty Exchange offers artists enhanced flexibility, choice, and control regarding one of their most valuable assets – royalties. This allows songwriters, artists, and producers the option of liquidating any percentage of a royalty asset in order to raise capital that traditionally has only been available through loans or advances, often at high interest rates.
The Future of Music Royalties
Royalty Exchange is the first company in the music industry to offer royalty valuation and sales alternatives to artists, and is also a pioneer in the concept of securitization of song royalties. The company is developing a model that will allow buyers to purchase shares of song royalties, potentially driving the market value of those assets even higher. Loud &; Proud Records is the first music label to incorporate Royalty Exchange services into its operations as an artist resource.
Fruitful Partnerships
“We are pleased to have Tom Lipsky and Loud &; Proud partnering with our organization,” said Sean Peace, Royalty Exchange founder and CEO. “Tom has always had a remarkable ability to provide his clients with the best services in the music industry. His insight and thought leadership will be invaluable to Royalty Exchange as we continue to evolve.”
