Welcome! Here's a wealth of helpful resources and tips for those of you who are starting an audio production and recording business.
Creating a Business Plan for an Audio Production & Recording Business
One of the worst mistakes you can make as a new business owner is to not create a business plan.
The key benefit of writing a business plan is that it defines the game plan. If you don't have a business plan, your leadership will be handicapped, choosing short-term opportunities at the expense of long-term benefits.
The first step in creating a business plan is to develop a mission statement for your organization. From there, it's time to initiate the hard work involved with writing the rest of your audio production and recording company's business plan.

Learning More About the Industry
After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's a wise move to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby audio production and recording businesses will give you advice, think again. What's in it for them?
However, an entrepreneur who owns an audio production and recording business outside of your community will be much more likely to talk with you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.
