Initial confidential discussion
We establish ownership, authority, objectives, timing and the catalog’s broad profile. The rights holder leaves with a clear list of the information needed for an initial fit decision.
Disciplined from introduction to closing
A serious transaction requires a controlled process.
Distinct seller and buyer workstreams converge through qualification, confidentiality, structured information, deliberate decisions and coordinated diligence.
Two coordinated pathways
Every stage has a purpose.
The process is designed to answer the right question before advancing: Is the opportunity understood? Are the parties qualified? Is the information protected? Is the next decision supported?

Seller pathway
Preliminary information review
GRIG reviews high-level rights, revenue and ownership information without prematurely circulating the opportunity. This determines whether deeper evaluation is appropriate and proportionate.
Documentation collection
Royalty statements, agreements, registrations and ownership records are organized into a controlled working set. Missing or inconsistent items are identified before valuation or outreach begins.
Rights & revenue review
The team analyzes what is owned, how income is generated, historical performance, concentration and contractual limits. The result is a defensible understanding of the asset under consideration.
Opportunity positioning
Rights type, repertoire, earnings profile and seller objectives are translated into a concise transaction narrative. This creates a coherent opportunity rather than an unfocused data package.
Buyer strategy
GRIG maps the opportunity to buyer categories, transaction structures and mandate criteria. The seller can understand who may be approached and why those counterparties fit.
Controlled market outreach
Approved information is shared selectively with qualified parties under the applicable confidentiality controls. Sensitive materials are not broadly circulated simply to create activity.
Indications of interest
Qualified responses are coordinated and tested for economics, structure, funding readiness and conditions. The seller receives a comparable view of credible interest before selecting a path forward.
Negotiation
GRIG helps organize the comparison of value, structure, certainty, timing and material conditions. Open issues are surfaced early so the strongest executable proposal can advance.
Due diligence
The selected buyer verifies ownership, contracts, revenue and other material facts with the seller and professional advisors. GRIG coordinates information flow, questions and decision points through the review.
Documentation & closing
Relevant parties move from agreed business terms to definitive transaction documents and closing requirements. Legal, financial and administrative workstreams are kept aligned.
Transaction completion
Funding, transfer mechanics, approvals and other agreed conditions are confirmed. Completion occurs only when the definitive requirements of the transaction have been satisfied.
Post-closing coordination
Where applicable, GRIG assists with final administrative handoffs, notices or transition items. This helps the parties close the process cleanly after the transaction itself is complete.
Buyer pathway
Buyer registration
The buyer identifies its entity, decision-makers, acquisition purpose and preferred rights categories. Registration creates a verified starting point, not automatic access.
Mandate review
GRIG examines target size, genre, era, income profile, geography and structural preferences. A precise mandate reduces irrelevant outreach and protects seller information.
Qualification
Capital source, authority, approval process, funding readiness and diligence capability are considered. The outcome is a practical assessment of whether the buyer can responsibly participate.
Confidentiality
The buyer executes or acknowledges applicable confidentiality and non-circumvention requirements. This establishes the rules governing non-public information and counterparty contact.
Opportunity matching
GRIG compares approved mandates with seller-authorized opportunities. An introduction occurs only where criteria, timing and disclosure permissions align.
Initial materials
A qualified buyer may receive an anonymized overview or preliminary package appropriate to the current stage. The buyer evaluates initial fit before requesting deeper access.
Indication of interest
Interested buyers communicate valuation range, structure, key assumptions and process requirements. GRIG organizes responses so sellers can compare credible proposals consistently.
Seller selection
The rights holder determines which party or parties may proceed based on economics, certainty, fit and other priorities. Selection authorizes the next stage; it does not guarantee a closing.
Due diligence
Approved buyers review detailed financial, contractual, ownership and operational materials. Questions, advisor access and data-room activity are coordinated through the authorized process.
Transaction documentation
Agreed business terms are reflected in definitive documents prepared and reviewed by the parties’ counsel. Remaining conditions, approvals and closing mechanics are resolved.
Closing
The parties satisfy the final requirements for funding, transfer and delivery. GRIG coordinates the transaction channel through confirmation of completion.
Ongoing opportunity access
A qualified buyer may remain eligible for future opportunities that fit its current mandate. Access continues to be selective, opportunity-specific and subject to seller authorization.
