The advance limit within TuneCore's Direct Advance cannot be raised within our portal. Your Available Balance is only increased as the algorithm recognizes an increase in your TuneCore earnings over a consistent period of time, since the portal's timeline is fixed at 6 months of income. If you're looking for an advance on TuneCore-specific earnings for a larger advance, please email us at financialservices.support@utopiamusic.com to check if this is possible.
However, if you have other income sources like ASCAP, BMI, SoundExchange, or other publishing, we are happy to consider advancing on those. If you have 3 years of earnings history and earn at least $5,000 a year from another organization, you can fill out an application for a manual advance at https://www.lyricfinancial.com/request-an-advance.
