RouteNote Advance allows musicians and label managers to focus on the music, without needing to worry about finances.

Being an independent artist or running your own label can be expensive. While RouteNote has made distribution affordable for all, creating new music, marketing your release, or touring can be unaffordable for many. With fluctuations in their monthly earnings, music professionals have long struggled to secure finance to support their art.

RouteNote Advance will support you with the funds that you need to invest in your music, so you don’t need to wait for your release to take off. You can spend the advance on anything, from equipment and studio time, to promotion.

How does RouteNote Advance work?

We’ve made RouteNote Advance super easy for anyone to use, so you can focus on the music.

We’ll work closely with you, the artist, to agree a suitable advance amount and flat fee. Once mutually agreed, we’ll send you the advance. Return payments will automatically be allocated from your earnings until your advance amount has been repaid. Once your advance has been returned, you’ll be free to withdraw your monthly earnings as usual, or apply again.
