MUSIC RIGHTS &
ADMINISTRATION SERVICES
Most catalogues are underpaid. We have thirty years of evidence.
Research Club audits, administers, and recovers revenue for record labels and publishers. We work where the money goes missing: registrations, statements, conflicts, and metadata.
Our Core Expertise: Recordings & Publishing
Most underpayments are not the result of bad faith. They are the result of incomplete registrations, unresolved conflicts, and statements that nobody audited. Managing a catalogue means knowing exactly where the money stops moving — and why.
Are you certain your catalogue is being fully monetised? We conduct deep-dive audits to identify missing revenue streams across registrations, statements, and platforms — ensuring every royalty is tracked, claimed, and collected.
Inheriting a catalogue can be overwhelming. We map what you own, clarify rights across compositions and recordings, and turn inherited assets into organised, properly registered, and profitable ventures.
Recorded Music
(Master Catalogue)
A master catalogue is only as valuable as the accuracy of its metadata, the integrity of its registrations, and the completeness of its reporting. We audit and administer master catalogues end-to-end — from ISRC assignment and platform delivery to distributor statement verification and YouTube Content ID management.
Music Publishing
(Composition)
A composition generates revenue every time it is performed, streamed, synchronised, or reproduced. Most publishing losses happen not because the money was withheld, but because the work was never properly registered to receive it. We handle registrations, PRO administration, and royalty auditing across all mechanical and performance channels.
Neighbouring
Rights
Neighbouring rights compensate the people who brought a recording to life — performers, session musicians, and the labels or producers who funded the recording. These royalties are consistently undercollected because the registration requirements are different and the territorial rules are complex. We handle both.
Our Clients
Long-term relationships built on recovered revenue.
We work with independent labels, publishers, and catalogue owners across Brazil and internationally. Our client relationships are long-term by design — royalty recovery and rights administration are not one-time interventions. They require continuity.
How We Work
Precision is not a promise. It is a process.
Research Club is not a generalist consultancy. We work exclusively in music rights — recordings, compositions, and neighbouring rights — and we have spent thirty years building the diagnostic methodology that makes our audits different from a standard review.
Every engagement begins here. We map your catalogue: what you own, where it is registered, where it is being distributed, and where the reporting chain breaks down. This stage is not billable. We do it because we will not take on work we cannot improve.
We go line by line. Statements are checked against registrations. Registrations are checked against society records. Conflict histories are reviewed. Every discrepancy is documented with evidence, and every recoverable amount is pursued through the appropriate channel — whether that is a distributor, a PRO, a CMO, or a platform.
Once the catalogue is clean, we administer it on an ongoing basis. New releases are registered correctly from day one. Statements are verified as they arrive. Conflicts are flagged and resolved before they accumulate.
Royalty audits and recovery work are typically structured on a percentage-of-recovery basis — we are paid when you are paid. Ongoing administration is structured as a monthly retainer, scoped to the size and complexity of your catalogue. We are transparent about both from the first conversation.
