If your starting from nothing then be prepared for a journey because it gets hard starting from nothing with no band or group. If you think you can handle it then what you want to do is get Incorporated in your state or the state you think is best for you. Once that is done take about 3 to 4 months promoting your new business offering to help upcoming or want to be artist.(focus on local artist) Have contracts printed up by a lawyer that say you will pay for all the groups studio cost, Marketing, Producing, Advertising, Management, Travel, etc. I know people may not have the money on hand to fill all those needs so you must improvise what you can to make it work. Once you get a handle on these things then its your job to search for a Distribution deal that basically says that the Distribution company will package and distribute your music for XX amount of dollars, At this point 2 things can happen, you can (1) be asked for the money up front or you can (2) talk them into waiting it out until the album brings in the money to pay them which might be a hard deal to pull off but definitely not impossible. If the band/group is any good you should not have a problem. For more info email me at Lacartiergroup@yahoo.com

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.
I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* Start and Run Your Own Record Label, Revised and Expanded Edition by Daylle Deanna Schwartz
* Label Launch: A Guide to Independent Record Recording, Promotion, and Distribution by Veronika Kalmar
* Music Business Made Simple: Start An Independent Record Label by J.S. RUDSENSKE
I also posted links to some free articles in the source box.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

one in all those cope with is often sacrificed. As stated, you'd be able to a range of of the time negotiate the specifics. The question is, will the label get you sufficient promoting and distribution to make it valued on the loss in cope with of your earnings? On its face, i do no longer think that's unreasonable for a label to favor to do all of your earnings - after all, they get a shrink. yet pay attention and move slowly.

You have to find a reliable lawyer, who will do the papers, of course you need one or two bands to star, and when you have the papers ready , when the name of the brand, etc, you are ready
