Why it's different

The paperwork, without the hassle.

For years, split sheets were an afterthought — shared in group chats, scribbled on paper, or created long after a song was finished. Labels could rely on lawyers and administrators. Independent creators often relied on memory.

Powered by MAIQCHECK, the Split Sheet Generator gives you a proper, industry-standard split sheet in minutes: add your song, add your collaborators, define exact ownership percentages, and download a signable PDF. Every split sheet is built on the ownership and metadata principles that power MAIQCHECK, creating a structured record that's ready to sign today and ready to support your catalogue tomorrow.

Built for solo artists and small teams, not just labels with legal departments.

No PRO or CMO paperwork to learn — just the details of your song.

A real, properly formatted document your collaborators can actually sign.

MAIQCHECK LinQ™

One verified identity per creator.

Music ownership begins with knowing who created the work. MAIQCHECK LinQ™ connects every contributor to a verified AKA identity, replacing typed names with trusted creator records — laying the foundation for a verifiable source of truth for African music IP.

AKA verifiedOne identity, matched every time
MAIQCHECK Immutable Records

Locked, not just saved.

Once every signatory has signed, the record is permanently locked. No contributor — not even MAIQCHECK — can alter it. Every ratified split sheet becomes an immutable record of ownership, preserving the agreement exactly as it was made.

Why permanence matters
No edits, no disputesOnce ratified, it's final

Artists who got it in writing.

A feature I did two years ago started streaming again out of nowhere. Because we'd signed a split sheet the night we recorded it, splitting the publishing was a five-minute conversation instead of a three-week argument.

I produce for six or seven artists a month. I stopped trying to remember verbal agreements and just generate the sheet before the session ends.

Express Ratification meant I could see exactly who still hadn't signed instead of texting four people to ask. Worth joining for that alone.

Quick answers

Before you start.

How much does a split sheet cost?
KES 499 through the standalone Splitsheet Generator, paid once with M-PESA, no account required. MAIQCHECK members pay KES 299 for the same manual ratification, or KES 599 for Express Ratification with automatic e-signatures.
Is a split sheet actually legally binding?
Not until it's signed. Downloading the PDF gets you the document — every contributor still needs to physically sign it before it becomes a legally recognised agreement under Kenyan contract law. MAIQCHECK's ratification process formally collects and locks those signatures.
Do I need a MAIQCHECK account to use the generator?
No. The Splitsheet Generator works without an account — fill in your details, pay, and download. An account is only needed for Express Ratification and for managing your full song catalogue on MAIQCHECK.

Why creators upgrade

What Express Ratification unlocks.

Manual ratification works. Express Ratification removes the part everyone dreads — chasing physical signatures from people who aren't in the same room, or the same country.

Automatic email requests

Every credited writer gets a signature request via SignWell the moment ratification starts — no manual sending required.

Live signed-status tracking

See exactly who's signed and who hasn't, in real time — instead of texting people to ask.

Sign from anywhere

Collaborators sign from their phone or laptop, wherever they are — no printing, no scanning, no courier.

Express ratification

Built for remote collaboration.

Music today rarely happens in one room. Express Ratification is designed for the way songs actually get made — features recorded remotely, producers in another city, writers who've never met in person.

What's included
  • Automatic signature requests via SignWell
  • Real-time signed / pending status per writer
  • Reminders sent without you lifting a finger
Why it matters
  • No coordinating time zones for a physical signature
  • Ratification completes as soon as everyone's signed
  • Nothing gets lost in a group chat
1 of 2 signedTracked live, updated instantly
MAIQCHECK LinQ™

Every credit, provably real.

Anyone can type a name into a split sheet. MAIQCHECK verifies who that name actually belongs to, so the person listed as a contributor is the same person who signs — every time.

What's included
  • One verified AKA per contributor, platform-wide
  • Matching across every song they're credited on
  • A resolution process for disputed identities
Why it matters
  • No mixed-up credits between people with the same nickname
  • Fewer disputes down the line about who actually signed
  • A credit history that holds up under scrutiny
AKA verifiedOne identity, matched every time

Your catalogue deserves a paper trail.

Register your songs, lock your splits, and own your sound — before a dispute forces you to prove what should have been documented from day one.

About

What is a split sheet, and why does MAIQCHECK exist?

A deep dive into the document, the problem it solves, and how we've tried to make it simple without cutting corners on what makes it real.

Where it starts

Every song asks four questions.

Every great song begins with creativity. Every successful song becomes intellectual property. Between those two moments lies a handful of questions that every song must eventually answer.

Who owns it?

Who created it?

Can those claims be trusted?

How does that ownership create value?

A split sheet answers the first question. MAIQCHECK exists to answer all four.

The Split Sheet Generator is your first step into that journey. It documents the people behind a song, the contributions they made, and the ownership percentages they have agreed to share. Once signed, that agreement becomes the foundation upon which publishing, licensing, royalties, catalogue management, and long-term rights are built.

At MAIQCHECK, we believe:

01

Every work deserves to be documented.

02

Every contribution deserves to be recognised.

03

Every record deserves to be trusted.

04

Every song deserves the opportunity to create lasting value.

Those beliefs shape every product we build. The sections below follow the same journey every song takes through MAIQCHECK.

Ownership

Who owns this work?

Every song begins with a clear agreement. A split sheet records every Author, Composer, Arranger, Producer, and Publisher, together with the ownership percentage each person has agreed to receive. Once signed, it becomes the agreed record of who created the work and how ownership is shared.

That record becomes increasingly valuable as a song grows:

Royalties

Publishing

Licensing

Synchronisation

Catalogue valuation

Every opportunity begins with knowing who owns what. While a split sheet isn't a substitute for legal advice on complex publishing arrangements, it remains the industry standard for documenting ownership at the point of creation.

The challenge

Why hasn't it always been this simple?

For decades, documenting ownership was largely a manual exercise. Labels relied on lawyers, business affairs teams, and administrators to prepare agreements, chase signatures, and maintain records. Independent creators rarely had those resources.

Split sheets were forgotten. Buried in WhatsApp conversations. Lost in email threads. Replaced by verbal agreements. By the time success arrived, ownership conversations had become significantly more complicated.

MAIQCHECK removes that friction by making professional ownership documentation accessible to every creator — without compromising the standards the music industry depends on.

Traditional approachPurpose
CMOsCollect royalties and administer rights. They don't establish ownership between collaborators.
DIYVerbal agreements, screenshots, emails, or incomplete paperwork.
MAIQCHECKDocument ownership, verify identities, ratify agreements, and preserve trusted records from the very beginning.
Identity

Who are the people behind the music?

Music credits belong to people — not names typed into a form. Powered by MAIQCHECK LinQ™, every Author, Composer, Arranger, Producer, and Publisher is connected to a unique verified identity that follows them across every collaboration. The creator credited today is the same verified creator who signs tomorrow.

What LinQ™ prevents
  • No duplicate profiles
  • No mistaken identities
  • No confusion between creators using the same stage name
Why it matters
  • Just trusted identities connected to trusted records
  • Cleaner metadata as more creators join MAIQCHECK
  • A connected catalogue that grows with every collaboration

Because every verifiable music catalogue begins with verifiable creator identities.

LinQ

MAIQCHECK LinQ™

One verified AKA identity per creator, matched every time they're credited or asked to sign.

Intelligence

Can the record be trusted?

Documentation only creates value when it can be trusted. That's why every MAIQCHECK record follows a structured ratification process and, once complete, becomes immutable.

Manual Ratification

Generate a professional split sheet, collect physical signatures, and upload the completed agreement to MAIQCHECK. Available through both the Split Sheet Generator and MAIQCHECK.

Once ratified, the record becomes permanently locked.
No contributor. No administrator. Not even MAIQCHECK itself can alter it.

That isn't a limitation. It's how trust becomes infrastructure. Every immutable record contributes to a growing, verifiable source of truth for African music intellectual property.
Commerce

How does ownership become value?

Every royalty. Every publishing agreement. Every licence. Every synchronisation deal. Every catalogue valuation. Every future opportunity. They all begin with trusted ownership records.

The Split Sheet Generator is where documentation begins. MAIQCHECK is where that documentation becomes a connected ownership and metadata infrastructure designed to support creators throughout the lifetime of their catalogue.

Today's split sheet becomes tomorrow's catalogue. Tomorrow's catalogue becomes tomorrow's opportunity.

We built the infrastructure so you can focus on the music.

Create your split sheet today. Build your catalogue tomorrow.

Frequently asked questions

Everything else.

How much does a split sheet cost?
Generate a standalone split sheet for KES 499, payable via M-PESA — no account required. MAIQCHECK members receive Manual Ratification for KES 299, or can choose Express Ratification with automatic e-signatures for KES 599.
Do I need a MAIQCHECK account to use the Split Sheet Generator?
No. The Split Sheet Generator works without creating an account. Simply enter your song details, add your contributors, pay with M-PESA, and download your signable split sheet. A MAIQCHECK account is only required for Express Ratification, catalogue management, and access to MAIQCHECK's ownership and metadata infrastructure.
What happens if someone doesn't sign?
The split sheet remains pending until every required contributor has signed or you've chosen to proceed with the manual process. For Express Ratification, MAIQCHECK tracks signing progress in real time, making it easy to see who has signed and who is still outstanding.
Is my M-PESA payment secure?
Yes. Payments are processed using M-PESA's secure STK Push workflow. Every transaction is authorised directly on your phone using your M-PESA PIN. MAIQCHECK never stores or has access to your PIN or payment credentials.
Is a split sheet actually legally binding?
Not automatically — downloading the PDF is the first step, not the last. It becomes a legally recognised agreement under Kenyan contract law only once every contributor has physically signed it. It won't replace a lawyer for a complex publishing deal, but for documenting who contributed what to a song, it's the industry-standard way to do it. MAIQCHECK's ratification process is what formally collects and locks the signatures: choose Express Ratification for e-signatures sent via SignWell, or Manual Ratification to upload a signed copy for admin review.
What's MAIQCHECK LinQ™, and why does it matter?
LinQ™ is the verified identity MAIQCHECK connects to every contributor. It's how the platform makes sure the person listed as, say, a producer on a song is provably the same person who signs it later — no mixed-up credits between people with similar names.
What's the difference between the Splitsheet Generator and MAIQCHECK?
The Splitsheet Generator is a standalone, one-off tool — no account, Manual Ratification only. MAIQCHECK is the full platform: a free account, member pricing, Express Ratification, LinQ™ identity verification, and a permanent catalogue dashboard for every song you register.
Can a split sheet be edited after everyone signs it?
No, on MAIQCHECK. Once every signatory has signed and the record is ratified, it's permanently locked — not editable by any contributor or administrator. That permanence is what makes it worth relying on.
