Starting your creative business

You have an idea, a prototype, or a fully formed creative project, but how do you go from here to running a team, studio or limited company?

​

• How do I get funding? What funding options are available?

• How do I build a team? Where do I look, Who do I need? What sort of person would I work well with?

• I've been asked about revenue and growth plans - where do I even start when I haven't launched my first game yet?

• How complete does my prototype need to be before showing to investors?

• Payroll? Pension? Taxes? What are my legal requirements and how do I fulfil them? 

• In-office or remote? What do I need to provide?

• How much equity should my team get?

• How do I register as a sole trader or register a limited company? 

• What's a runway when it's not at an airport? How do I calculate burn rate?

• What's a fair salary?

• How do I calculate whether I can afford pay rises? What other progression can I give to a junior team?
