Established Record Company Looking For Investor/Partner

My name is Rich Hentosh ive ran my own record company for the past 5 years. We have released 6 retail albums nationwide (with over 450,000 cd sales) We also have 4 artists signed to our label (2 of which have over 250,000 cd sales each). We have nationwide distribution with EMI (major music distribution)

we are currently looking for investors/partners for the 2 new releases we have finished and ready for retail. We have music videos already completed, radio singles pressed up as well as prime buzz. we are looking for investors so we can have a strong radio promotion, pr promotion and street team promotions. We need roughly 50-75k PER RELEASE

We get roughly $4-5 a cd sold (minus the recoupment of pressing/retail co op marketing and other expenses charged to us from distributor) so the window ROI is in a 6-12 month period!

We can do a solid % ROI or if its a good investor/partner we can split all cd sales profits accordingly.

This is a for real business opp for someone who wants to step into the music business when all the "dirty" work has been done.

Projects needing funding

CYSSERO (Protégé Of Multi Platinum Rapper The Game, Cyssero has appeared on over 30+ mixtapes and 4 retail cds with over 250,000 cd sales.) Has an album done, music video, 3 radio singles charting on bds/media base, and worldwide buzz

NO QUESTION (Former Warner Bros Artist With Over 250,000 US Sales ) They have an album completed, 2 music videos as well. with a huge buzz in the US and overseas


IF YOU ARE SERIOUS AND INTERESTED PM ME

Whats your label's name? Where is it based? I am interested, however can't help out with the funding lol. I can help promote the music in Thailand where I'm at. I'm currently CEO/Artist of LUXLIVIN ENT. and SONY BMG A&R/Project manager. If you want promotion for you artist here, we can sort something out.

Cyssero is contracted with Crack Music Records and No Question is with Warner Bros/WEA.

I'm no expert on the music business. This is just what my research shows.

$50K sounds like a small number for an album promotion.

Care to explain?

crack music is cysseros label i helped him start, hes still under the Affiliated Records Umbrella. As for no question they haven't been signed to Ruff Nation/WEA since 2004

as for 50grand, thats a great amount to fund an indie release.

Rough Break Down
20k on radio (Regional)
10k on PR
10k on Retail co Op marketing
5k on Street Team
5k for overage funds for promo items, sampler run offs, minimal stuff like that

Trust me ive been doing this long enough to know whats fee sable. Of course we could use more, but at this stage 50k is enough to do what we need to do to make the 1st of the albums a success

If you are looking for a serious investor you have to be firm on exactly what you need. You keep using the word "rough". Investors don't want to see rough estimates and they don't want to see a range of what you need or a range expenses. They want to see exactly what you think you need, and exactly what the expenses are. Even if you don't know the exact cost, provide a single figure as your best estimate.

Just some advice to help you out.

Im surprised of your CD sales figures. When I was trying to launch Independent Record Label in 2002-2003 we got only few hundred CD sales but over 170K MP3 downloads. As Internet was free but mobile operators had implemented Premium SMS billing I tried to convince Nokia then to integrate MP3 player with mobile phone. It took them several years so my label vanished meanwhile. This time I'm trying to produce animated stories for mobiles as mobile music market is too crowded already.
