Want to start a record label in 2026 but think you need money, lawyers, or an LLC first? You don’t. In this video, I break down the minimum viable structure required to start a record label for $0—legally, cleanly, and without setting yourself up for future tax or distributor disasters. You’ll learn how to set up a sole proprietorship with an EIN, open a business bank account without an LLC, choose a free distributor, and understand the real risks you’re taking when you skip proper structure. This is the honest path for artists earning a few thousand dollars a year who want clarity now and a clean upgrade path later.
