How It Works
Under an Administration Agreement with Blades Music Ltd., a songwriter and/or artist grants the exclusive right to administer some or all of their songs on an ongoing rolling contract. The agreement can be terminated at any time with 28-days notice, leaving themselves free to work with other publishers, or collect royalties directly after this time.
This is a non-restrictive agreement allowing you retain ownership of your copyrights. 90% of the income collected is paid directly to you, with the remaining 10% percent retained by Blades Music Ltd. to cover our time and costs.
In addition, your songs can be pitched to artists for cover placements, and sync deals (film/TV/adverts, etc) where appropriate. If Blades Music Ltd. secure such use for any of your songs, a new agreement is set up for those specific song(s) with a higher percentage cut paid to the publisher (30%) which is the incentive for Blades Music Ltd to go out and try to generate the additional income for you.
