Week 15: Final Presentations — Your Label, Live

⏱️ Finals Week · Presentation & Submission

🎯 Week Goal

Present your record label and publishing company to the class using your Master Business Document as your business action plan, and submit your complete course portfolio.

📌 Presentation Deliverables

  • Your Master Business Document — printed or shared — as your business action plan
  • Your Money Map walkthrough: where every dollar flows and why there are no registration gaps
  • Your Business Bible structure (8 folders from Week 14)
  • Your exported workbook portfolio (button below)

🎤 Structure Your Presentation (5-8 minutes)

  1. Introduce your two businesses — publishing company (LLC) and record label (DBA): names, structure, and why the names cleared research
  2. Show what you own — your catalog as TWO asset types (© compositions and ℗ masters) using the recipe/dish analogy
  3. Walk the Money Map — name each royalty stream and which account it flows into: PRO, mechanical (MLC/HFA/MRI), SoundExchange, distributor, sync, lyric display
  4. Prove you're investment-ready — legal entity, EIN, registered copyrights, complete revenue infrastructure, organized Business Bible
  5. Close with your next 12 months — releases, sync goals, and when you'd upgrade the DBA to a second LLC

📤 How to Submit Your Portfolio

  1. Generate your Portfolio Report — open the Final Portfolio Report, review it, and use Print → "Save as PDF." This formatted PDF of every answer and checkmark is what you submit
  2. Export a JSON backup too — the button below downloads a data file of all your work (your backup / restore file)
  3. Compile your evidence — screenshots and confirmations from every module, organized in a Google Drive folder or single PDF per the file naming convention
  4. Redact sensitive info — SSN as XXX-XX-1234, bank account numbers, personal addresses
  5. Name files professionally: LastName_FirstName_FinalPortfolio.pdf — never "assignment.pdf"
  6. Test before submitting — open every file, verify images are readable, keep backups in two places
