A Sample Music Business Plan
In Music Think Tank, Kevin English follows up on his earlier post on how to write a music business plan. In this recent post, he gives the elements of a good music business plan and uses a sample from the indie hip hop group, The Northern Southerners. He goes on to explain that, “A plan not only provides you with a framework for growth, but also takes a closer look at the details of your business; ones that are typically over looked without a business plan.”
This is great, but there are typos in the plan. It should be “CDs,” not “CD’s,” which is only used to denote possession.
Thanks Sue. I’ll make these corrections and post a revision to Scribd.
That will teach me not to drink and post 😉
Cheers,
Kevin
Sue, I have always been annoyed by people using the apostrophe like that…but then I found out that with an abbreviation or acronym, it is correct!
I still don’t like how it looks, though.

Cmon, seriously? Do we really need to correct people’s writing in public? Send them a private message, so the posts stay focused on the original topic.
Well said, if you guys want perfect English, go to a blog that caters to writers, no indie musicians, as long as it gets the point across I really don’t care, how they write it.
to chris,
great post, but why the comma after “care” in the last line?
Thanks for the English lesson. Can’t have errors in my work with a last name like mine.
Kevin
…and Chris, I think you meant ‘not indie musicians’ as opposed to ‘no indie musicians’.
wocka wocka!
Jeez, now that I read the actual business plan, the thing is riddled with typos. C’mon, Kevin English! You’re the winner of Prudential’s National Business Competition after all! 😉
Also, where can we find the “Start up Cost spreadsheet”?
Check the first page of the Northern Southerners Financial statement. Here’s the direct link:
