Nine lessons on setting up your legal entity and banking as an independent musician, and the paperwork traps that stall your first payouts.
Nine lessons. A clean business setup. No more mixing personal rent with band expenses.
You want to sell merch and take booking fees. You are using your personal bank account for band expenses and gig payouts. Tax season arrives and you can't separate your personal grocery bills from your studio hire receipts.
This course gives you a checklist for sole trader registration and a template for tracking band expenses. You get a guide to opening a dedicated business bank account without high monthly fees.
Solo musicians: running everything through a single personal account.
Band leaders: handling group cash with no formal agreement.
Artist managers: sorting shoe-boxes of receipts after the tour.
This course is part of the academy's invite-only offering.
Access to this course is managed by the academy owner. Reach out to them if you would like to join.
