How is Our Funding Different?

You Are In Control.

You choose how to spend every dollar that we advance for your career - You choose your production, marketing, and other partners.

The amount you owe will never go up.

Labels may add marketing, video and other costs to your unrecouped balance.

You retain ownership.

After you are recouped and the term is up, you keep 100% of the income. Our deals aren’t forever.

Recoup Only From Streaming and SoundExchange.

You keep income from physical sales, merch, live events, sync and publishing (unless you take a separate publishing deal).

Customize Every Aspect Of Your Deal

Pick a short or long term deal. Receive a new music advance or against catalog only. Keep a share of monthly income. Explore offers from leading distributors through the beatBread Funding Network. Choose from hundreds of deal structures to fit your unique needs.
