As an artist, Do you wonder about this ?
You dream of performing internationally, but does your income documentation support a visa application?
You want to start a dance or music institution, but are unsure whether it should be an academy, trust, society, LLP, or company?
You collect fees in cash — but what happens when you need proof of income for a home loan, vehicle loan, or rental agreement?
You performed for an event company — how do you give them a bill? How to protect yourself when an agency does not pay you?
Many artists spend years mastering their craft, yet receive little guidance on managing income, taxes, registrations, GST, accounting, or long-term financial planning. As a result, artists often face confusion around fees, tax filings, business structures, and scaling their institutions. This workshop is designed to bridge that gap.
Join us for an insightful session with CA Ashish Jain, who will simplify the financial and compliance landscape for dancers, musicians, and arts educators in India.
