The Artispreneur Business Readiness Audit
Evaluate your creative business infrastructure across rights, royalties, contracts, and pitch readiness in 2 minutes.
✓Check all items that currently apply to your creative business:
Are you registered as a Writer & Publisher with a PRO (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, PRS)?
Without this, 50% of your broadcast and live performance royalties are sitting in the 'black box'.
Is your artist identity registered with SoundExchange and The MLC?
Collects digital performance royalties from Pandora, SiriusXM, and US streaming mechanicals.
Do you sign written split sheets on 100% of your co-writes and producer sessions BEFORE release?
Verbal agreements are the #1 cause of songs being pulled from Spotify and frozen royalty disputes.
Do you have a dedicated business entity (LLC) or separate business bank account for creative income?
Shields personal assets and unlocks tax deductions for studio gear, travel, and marketing.
Do you have an active, one-link Electronic Press Kit (EPK) with high-res photos, bio, and streaming stats?
Talent buyers, booking agents, and music journalists ignore email attachments and SoundCloud links.
Do you have instrumental versions, clean edits, stems, and tagged WAVs ready for sync supervisors?
Sync placements require 24-hour turnaround; untagged files are immediately disqualified.
Do you own an email/SMS list of at least 250 fans that you can contact without social algorithms?
Social media reach is rented; email and SMS lists drive 80%+ of direct ticket and merch sales.
Answer honestly — this creates your tailored action roadmap.
