Want to learn more first? → Understanding Royalty Advances
Keep control of your copyrights. All advance options preserve your ownership and creative freedom.
To apply for an advance, you’ll need to be a Symphonic client. Eligible clients will see the advance application directly in their Symphonic account when requesting a payment.
Already have content released elsewhere? You can bring your catalog over to Symphonic and may still qualify for an advance once your content is delivered.
Symphonic offers royalty advances directly to qualified artists and labels through a simple application process. Advances may be available once your content is delivered to Symphonic or after you’ve reached a certain level of royalty earnings.
We also partner with trusted advance providers to give you more options and flexibility to fund releases and future projects.
For current Symphonic clients, advance applications are available directly within SymphonicMS. You can apply for a Symphonic royalty advance or explore options from our advance partners featured on this page, each with its own set of qualifications.
If you’re not yet a Symphonic client, you’ll need to create an account to begin the application process.
There is no fee to apply.
Every artist’s situation is different, and while we generally look for some existing royalty earnings when evaluating advance eligibility, there is no minimum earnings requirement to apply.
Most advances are paid within days or weeks—not months. This timing depends on Symphonic receiving your application and all required documentation in a complete and timely manner. Our advance partners follow a similar timeline, typically funding projects within a few days to a few weeks. Please note that a Symphonic-issued advance will require an update to your current agreement.
Symphonic understands that every artist’s path is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to growing your career. That’s why we work with partners who share our values and commitment to supporting artists—giving our clients access to multiple options that best fit their needs.
