  5. Competitive Analysis
  6. Marketing Plan

Record Label Hierarchy

To efficiently manage employees and operations, record labels have a hierarchical structure. There is typically a CEO or owner at the top, followed by a president, vice presidents, directors, management, and staff – similar to other businesses.

Key Steps to Build a Label

  1. Develop A Business Plan: Identify your genre, talent, facilities, and costs.
  2. Choose A Legal Structure: LLC, corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship.
  3. Obtain Necessary Licenses And Permits
  4. Pick A Name And Check For Trademark Conflicts
  5. Address Copyright Issues
  6. Get Adequate Insurance
  7. Highlight Management Team’s Industry Experience

Don’t expect profits immediately. Building a label takes time, but can become very profitable long-term.
