SC label - unaffiliated subvert massive funds

Hmmm...

We need LOTS!

Well, the more we get, the more we can do, like extra advertising & promotion etc...

how much is exactly needed?

[Statto]

how much is exactly needed?

about £1200

we now have 200 pounds with 9 people...9 people!!! where's all the rest???

if by the end of the month things don't look different we can conclude the subvert massive is a bunch of bigmouths

payday approaches.. i'll donate to your musical goodness friday..

Can someone sketch out a business plan and keep the books open so ppl know where their money is going? I think it's unreasonable to expect us to donate without both of those things. cheers, Dave

a business plan?

once we get enough to release one record then we release one record and see what happens — all money arising from that record goes back into the label

that straightforward enough?

a business plan?!

I think it's foolish not to have a business plan if you're starting a business and soliciting investors for money, which is exactly what you're doing. I imagine a lot of labels start this way-- without anyone seriously keeping track of the books, without any clear plan of projected revenues & expenses, release schedules, how often the label will have to front x amount of capital, advertising & press strategies, etc-- and probably most of them fail due to a lack of such planning. I'm not a business type but is it so absurd to think farther in advance than a single release?

ok so...

Subvert Central label business plan
projected revenues.... £0 (we're doing this for the love!)
projected expenses... £1000 per release (minus income from previous release)
release schedules...... as soon and as often as we can afford it
advertising & press strategies... as much as possible

this is a good point

yes, it would be advisable to keep the income and expenditure properly documented for all to see — and interesting too to see what's involved in the outgoings of a label

at present the books constitute...
£230.50 donated from the subvert massive ( 'resting' in my account )

230 quid with 9 people aint bad at all i tell ya
thats quite an amount already!

Wow, thats pretty cool, 1/4 of the way there! I reckon more people will drop more money as more things get nearer completion... pretty kinda excitin isn't it?

Does anyone know if the tracks for first release have been sorted yet?
