Royalty Advance

Without Losing Your Rights

At Hankad, we’re committed to supporting artists and labels in achieving their creative goals. Our Royalty Advance Program offers upfront financial support to users who distribute their music through our platform, helping them invest in their careers without waiting for future earnings.
