As XL Recordings are an independent record label they are more inclined to care about the artists such as The Prodigy, more so than a major record company like Sony Music. Despite this, XL Recordings would have a lower amount of funding available than Sony Music and so may have to rely on other record labels or companies for recording studios, distribution, marketing etc. Therefore creating less profit overall for everyone involved in the process. Taking this into account, despite there being less profit available the artist and band do get a higher percentage of this than any artists signed by Sony Music would.
