Recording Label Business Plan
A recording label business plan will look very different today than it might have appeared at any other point in the last fifty years. With the advent of the Internet and file sharing, more and more music is being created and distributed through decentralized sources, significantly altering the recording industry and putting many recording labels out of business. Recording labels used to make the majority of their revenue from album sales and additional artistic streams like ticket sales for tours. However, many recording labels are beginning to sign deals with recording artists that give them a portion of the artist's merchandising sales as well. If you're considering starting a recording label, here are some factors you'll want to address in your business plan:
• Where will the majority of your revenue come from?
• How will you record and distribute music from the artists you sign?
• Will you focus on one particular genre, or will you sign artists from different types of music?
• Will your recording label remain local or will you try to compete on a national or an international level?
• How will you convince artists to sign with your recording label instead of another major or independent label?
Answering these questions will give you a good start on your business plan.
