What mprs does

mprs is a private master royalty administration platform founded in 2021 and headquartered in West New York, United States. The company tracks, collects, and audits master point royalties for music producers, mixers, artists, investment funds, production houses/JVs, and catalog owners — a rights category that historically lacked a definitive administrator despite analogous infrastructure in publishing, performance, and neighbouring rights.

The core product is a proprietary online portal that consolidates a client's entire master point royalty picture — earnings by period, discography, real-time reporting by label account, contract terms, and statement coverage — into a single interface. Underpinning this is a proprietary audit process that cross-checks client earnings against the 5,000+ statements processed annually from 200+ sources across multiple currencies, identifying discrepancies of all sizes that other administrators do not detect. The platform processes $45M+ in master point royalties and has recovered $5M+ in missing royalties for clients since 2023.

The business model is back-end commission only on royalties clients actually receive — no take on up-front advances — with an optional 3% invoicing service. Capital services layered on the administration base include rolling, full production, and pipeline advances against existing and future royalties, plus selective catalog acquisitions following a June 2026 partnership with Milk & Honey. Go-to-market is consultative and direct: clients reach out via email or client login portal, with no disclosed intermediary channel and marketing limited to LinkedIn, Instagram, and the company website. The company operates with 1–10 employees across global territories and has no disclosed funding rounds to date.
