The Indie Label Split Sheet Template

Ever finish a great session and forget to sort out who owns what? Misunderstandings over song ownership can ruin creative partnerships and cost you thousands in lost royalties. Protect your music and your relationships with a professional split sheet.

This isn't just a document; it's the single most important piece of paperwork for any serious music creator.

Created for the "Indie Label Journey" series, this Professional Songwriting Split Sheet Template is the exact tool I use for my own record label. It’s designed to be clear, comprehensive, and legally sound, so you can stop worrying about the business side and get back to creating.

This template solves the biggest problems artists face:

• Locks in Splits Early: Includes a "Working Title" field so you can sign an agreement before the song even has a final name.
• Ensures Everyone Gets Paid: Includes dedicated fields for each contributor's PRO (ASCAP, BMI, etc.) and their IPI/CAE number, which is essential for royalty collection.
• Looks Professional: A clean, two-page layout that shows collaborators you are serious about your business.

Who is this for?

• Music Producers
• Recording Artists
• Songwriters & Lyricists
• Aspiring Label Owners

What You'll Get: A single, easy-to-use PDF that includes:

1. A welcome page with instructions.
2. A link to a fully editable Canva template (works with a free Canva account!).
3. A clean, unbranded, two-page split sheet that you can also edit with any PDF software.
