Analysis and Valuation Workflow
Compile Information
We will meet with you to collect all of the records that apply to the catalog. This could be royalty reports, contracts, liner notes and any other information related to the catalog to help us understand what is being considered.
Organize
The Business Frame team then organizes everything. The data is extracted from the delivered reports and records and compiled in formats that can be modeled to project future earnings. The contracts are collated and bundled to document the chain of title. Issues and opportunities are illuminated at this stage.
Report
A comprehensive report including formatted financial data and range of values, copyright chain of title, copyright metadata, and quality of earnings is produced for individual analysis by interested parties, investors, and lenders.
