The process

From first question to cash in the bank

Six steps. Nothing hidden, nothing that only shows up in the contract. Here is every stage, how long each one takes, and exactly what we need from you.

Start at step one

1
Step 190 seconds, online
Get your indicative estimate
Answer four short questions about your channel — what it earns, how long it has run, how revenue is trending. You get an indicative funding range immediately, before you talk to anyone.
Nothing here is binding on either side. It is a range, not an offer, and it exists so you can decide whether this is worth your time before handing over anything more than an email address.

Step 21 – 2 business days
We review your channel
A real person looks at your public revenue signals, watch-time stability, catalog depth and audience geography. No credit check, and no request for your bank statements.
What matters is how predictable your existing videos are, not your credit score. A three-year-old channel with steady evergreen views underwrites better than a channel that spiked once and went quiet.

Step 3Same day as review completes
You get a written offer
A single document stating the upfront amount, exactly which videos are licensed, the length of the term, the revenue share during the term, and the date everything reverts to you.
One number, one term, one page of plain English. No origination fee, no maintenance fee, no processing charge appearing later — if a cost is not on this page, it does not exist.

Step 4However long you need
You ask us anything, or walk away
Take the offer to your accountant or your lawyer. Ask us to explain any clause. Decline it with no cost and no obligation — plenty of creators do, and that is a fine outcome.
An upfront payment like this may be treated as earned income depending on your country. We are not tax advisors, so please do speak to your own accountant before you sign.
5
Step 5Under an hour
Sign and verify
Sign electronically and complete standard identity verification. We confirm the licensed videos with you line by line so there is no ambiguity about what is included.
Identity checks are a regulatory requirement for any company moving money internationally, and they are the only paperwork hurdle in the process.

Step 6Within 24 hours
Cash lands, and you go back to work
Money arrives by bank transfer, or as USDC/USDT if you prefer stablecoins. Then you carry on uploading, and keep every cent of what you post next.
When the term ends, revenue from the licensed videos reverts to you automatically. There is no renewal you have to opt out of and no balloon payment at the end.

The trade

What stays yours, and what you license

This is the entire scope of the deal. If something is not in the right-hand column, it is not part of it.

What stays yours

Your YouTube channel and account
Your copyright and IP in every video
Full creative control over what you make
100% of revenue from every new video you post
All sponsorship, merch, membership and affiliate income
Revenue from the licensed videos once the term ends

What you license to us

Ad revenue from the specific existing videos in the deal
For the fixed term only, then it reverts to you

That is the whole trade. Nothing else about your channel changes.

At the end

What happens when the term ends

Revenue reverts automatically

On the date in your contract, ad revenue from the licensed videos returns to you. There is nothing you need to do, cancel or claim.

No final payment, no balloon

A licence is not a loan, so there is no outstanding balance to settle at the end. If the licensed videos earned less than we projected, that shortfall is ours, not yours.

No automatic renewal

Nothing rolls over. If you want to do another deal at that point, it is a fresh conversation with a fresh valuation — and you are free to go elsewhere.

In the app

Every step, tracked

Once your offer is out, the Copyright Capital app is where you follow it — the licensed videos, what they are earning, when the term ends, and your payouts as they land.

Content ID protection is in there too, free, claiming ad revenue from anyone reuploading your videos. Worth switching on whether or not you ever take funding.
