{{Main|Northern Songs}}
The Beatles entered into a publishing agreement with [[Dick James]] Music (DJM), so James set up a company called [[Northern Songs]]. James and his financial partner and accountant, Charles Silver, would each receive 25 per cent of the shares. Lennon and McCartney received 20 per cent each, with Epstein receiving the remaining 10 per cent.{{sfn|Miles|1997|p=147}} The Beatles' PRS income increased rapidly, so Epstein asked Isherwood to devise a way of avoiding the tax that Lennon and McCartney would owe. Isherwood suggested a [[Initial public offering|stock market flotation]] for Northern Songs. He also suggested to Epstein that during the flotation Lennon and McCartney should move to houses near Isherwood's own in [[Esher]]. Lennon, Harrison and Starr agreed, while Epstein and McCartney remained in London.{{sfn|Miles|1997|pp=166–167}}
