Help Musicians business advice topics
Advice and guidance to help you pick your business advice topics
Our Business Advice sessions are a key part of what makes Help Musicians’ support unique, and is offered to music creators who have applied for funding through our Next Level and Electronic Music Awards.
The business advice you receive is tailored specifically to your needs to support your current goals and long term career plans.
These one-to-one session are led by our Business Advisors, who are all experts in their field, with years of experience in the music industry. You can usually access six hours of business advice split between two different topics of your choice.
Themes can include:
- Branding, marketing, and social media
- Career development and achieving your goals
- Digital commerce, direct-to-fan sales, and streaming
- Financial planning
- Legal and contract
- Publishing and royalties
- Music Business Strategy
- Project Management
- Touring and live
Having someone actually listen, it empowered me and so I have now taken more control over my project. I think it is the best thing ever for me, the money was great, but this was the best part of it for me. I wished all funding bodies did this, well done.
What impact can Business Advice have on your music career?
As a musician you’re often expected to be your own social media manager, business manager and financial manager. Business advice aims to provide you with the relevant tools and knowledge to make the right decisions when navigating the business aspects of your career.
Our business advice is tailored to be useful beyond the initial support you receive from Help Musicians. It should provide you with knowledge that you can take with you throughout your career to help enable you to maintain a stable and fulfilling career in music.
The grant is helpful obviously but the reason I wanted support from Help Musicians was because of the business advice sessions.
