If an aspiring songwriter can't find a music publishing company to market and promote their songs. A viable solution is to set up a publishing company and do it themselves.

And if a songwriter is also a singer who records music, they can have a publishing company set up by a lawyer. Even a personal manager for that songwriter can set up a publishing company for them if need be.

When a music publishing company is set up by the songwriter's business manager, chances are the publishing company will also be administered by the same business manager. In return, the business manager will be paid a percentage of the earnings.

In essence, a music publishing company is basically a company that will engage with other corporations in the music business. Therefore a songwriter who wants to be a music publisher needs to allocate enough time to handle all the copyright administration.

One of the advantages of owning a music publishing company is it allows the songwriter to earn more money. Especially if they are very good at what they do since more artists will demand more songs from them.

The disadvantage of starting a music publishing company is when a songwriter has no clue about music contracts. As a result, a songwriter will be paid less. Compared to potential earnings of being signed to an experienced music publisher.
