Direct Advance

Money when you need it – no hassle, no negotiation.

Stay Independent

You’re already staying in control of your music by distributing through TuneCore. Now you can be in control of your finances, too.

Benefits

  • Cheaper than a credit card – only a low, one-time fee

  • No stress payback – no manual payments, no penalties, deductions directly from your TuneCore balance

  • Get your money quickly – request an advance and get paid in no time

Know if You're Pre-selected

Earning your trust is as important to us as anything we do here at TuneCore. That’s why only artists whose earnings meet specific requirements are pre-selected for an advance.

Who Qualified for Pre-Selection?

  • Trusted artists – you must have 12 months of continuous earnings totaling at least $870

  • Based on past earnings – you’ll never be asked to pay back more than you can afford

  • If you see the button to your left, you’ll know that you pre-qualify for an advance

  • Qualification for an advance is based on sales history and projected sales from your digital distribution through TuneCore which may change daily. Request an advance to find out if you qualify.
