Our Clients & Partners
Disbursement of gross receipts has become such a specialised activity that it often gets put in the too hard basket when time is short. I think it’s great that Screenrights has now moved into this space, especially given their experience in royalties distribution over many years. It seems like a natural evolution of their services.
Matchbox welcomes Screenrights into the Disbursement arena, and we have been very pleased with the way that the service is developing. All of our investors expect accurate disbursements and transparent reporting – and, much like the service we have received from Screenrights across the educational space, we know that we can rely on Screenrights to deliver this.
We are pleased Screenrights is taking on this important function. It is reassuring that the industry will continue to have access to an Australian disbursement service. Screenrights is ideally placed to fill that role given its relationships in the industry over many years and the similarities between its current function and this new business.
