Catalog Valuation & Sales

Clean data sells
catalogs. Fast.

A catalog is only worth what a buyer can verify. We prepare the rights data, run the valuation and support the full deal — for sellers maximising value and buyers verifying what they're acquiring.

The Data Difference

87% higher probability of closing within 60 days.

Based on our own deal experience: catalogs with professionally prepared rights data — complete ISRC inventory, ownership documentation, verified society income — close significantly faster and at higher multiples than undocumented equivalents.

Buyers don't struggle with high prices. They struggle with risk. Remove the uncertainty and the deal moves.

01

Rights Mapping & Data Room

Full ISRC inventory, ownership documentation, society registration status and income history per territory — packaged into a clean data room.

02

Recovery & Uplift Before Market

We close open recovery gaps before the catalog goes to market. A catalog generating 30% more NR income has a materially higher valuation.

03

Independent Valuation

We provide separate valuations for neighbouring rights income streams and copyright/publishing rights — and a combined catalog value range.

04

Deal Support

We sit alongside sellers and buyers during negotiation, answering technical rights questions and flagging structural issues before they become problems.

For Sellers & Buyers

Which side of the table are you on?

Sellers — Maximise your multiple before market

  • We close recovery gaps so your NR income baseline is as high as possible before valuation
  • Clean ISRC registration and ownership documentation removes buyer risk — and price discount pressure
  • We prepare the data room so buyer due diligence moves fast
  • Independent valuation gives you a defensible number to anchor the negotiation
  • We support you through the deal process — including buyer questions on rights structure

Buyers — Verify what you're actually acquiring

  • We audit the ISRC registration status and ownership percentages across all claimed territories
  • We cross-check stated society income against registration data — a common source of overstatement
  • We identify unresolved conflicts and ongoing disputes that would survive the transaction
  • We flag rights that have not yet reverted and may still be under third-party claim
  • We quantify post-close recovery upside so you understand the full income picture
