Common questions

What catalog owners ask first.

Including the structural questions. Your options, who buys, and how it's valued.

What are my options?

Three: a partial sale (sell a percentage and keep the rest), a full sale (a complete purchase by investors), or fractionalized royalties (fans buy shares and own a piece). Get a valuation first if you're not sure which fits.

How do fractionalized royalties work?

You open a song to fans, who buy fractionalized shares and gain a piece of it. They support you directly. Unchained is the first and only distributor to offer this alongside traditional distribution.

Do I keep control of my royalties?

You keep full transparency and control over your royalty distribution. Any sale or share is only ever arranged with vetted partners, and whether to proceed is always your choice.

Who buys my catalog?

Vetted partners and investors across the industry. Unchained connects you with them. For fractionalized royalties, the buyers are your own fans.

What's my catalog worth?

It depends on its earnings and performance. Get a valuation and we'll take it from there. Well-performing catalogs attract the strongest offers.

How do I start?

Start with a valuation or a conversation. Terms are scoped per arrangement and agreed up front before anything happens.
