AudioWave Records Confirms £11.7m Business Valuation Following Media Expansion

AudioWave Records has confirmed a new independent business valuation of £11.7 million, reflecting sustained growth across music, media, and digital infrastructure.

The updated valuation was carried out using the same external valuation firm and methodology as the company’s previous 2025 assessment, which placed AudioWave Records at £8.2 million. The increase reflects a strategic expansion of the company’s owned platforms and a continued focus on building long-term, scalable assets.

Media Expansion as a Core Growth Driver

A key contributor to the revised valuation is the growth of AudioWave Records’ owned media platform, which now operates as a fully monetised digital publishing asset alongside the company’s core music operations.

Rather than functioning solely as a promotional outlet, the platform has been developed as long-term infrastructure — combining editorial content, search visibility, and consistent organic reach. This approach allows AudioWave to publish and rank content rapidly, maintain audience engagement, and generate recurring digital revenue independent of music release cycles.

Media Platform Valued as a Standalone Asset

As part of the most recent assessment, AudioWave Records’ website and digital publishing infrastructure were valued independently as a standalone media asset at approximately £3.5 million.

This valuation reflects the platform’s:

• High domain authority

• Rapid search indexing capability

• Consistent top-ranking organic performance

• Proven ability to generate recurring digital revenue

The inclusion of a standalone media valuation highlights the platform’s role as a commercial asset in its own right, rather than a supporting marketing channel.

Reduced Risk Through Diversified Revenue Streams

The expansion into owned media materially reduces reliance on traditional music industry cycles, including release schedules and touring activity. By operating across music, media, and digital publishing, AudioWave Records benefits from diversified income streams that reinforce business stability and improve long-term forecasting.

This diversification was cited as a key factor in the uplift, as predictable digital revenue strengthens the overall resilience of the business.

Strengthened Position for Brand Partnerships

The confirmed £11.7m valuation places AudioWave Records within the upper tier of independent music businesses operating at a media-company standard.

For brand partners and advertisers, the combination of:

• A high-authority media platform

• Proven audience reach

• Stable infrastructure

• Independent valuation validation

provides confidence that campaigns are delivered within a trusted, professionally operated digital environment.

Looking Ahead

AudioWave Records continues to invest in assets designed to compound in value over time. Future growth is expected to be driven by continued media expansion, strategic brand partnerships, sync licensing, and international development across its creative ecosystem.

The company remains focused on ownership, transparency, and sustainability — building infrastructure that benefits artists, partners, and collaborators long term.
