Why Every Athlete, Entertainer and Influencer Needs a Business Manager

Behind every great career is a strong team. Whether you’re breaking records on the pitch, headlining festivals, appearing on screen, or building an online community, the spotlight is on you. But while the world sees the performance, what often goes unseen are the financial, legal and business decisions that shape long-term success.

That’s where a Business Manager comes in.

At BAND, we work closely with professional athletes, musicians, entertainers and influencers, giving them the support and structure they need off the field, off the stage and behind the camera. The aim is simple: to allow talent to focus on what they do best, while we handle the rest.

The Benefits of an Experienced Business Manager

1. Protecting your earnings
   A career in sport or entertainment can be short-lived. Maximising earnings during peak years, and ensuring they last long after, requires careful planning. We provide financial oversight, manage income streams, and build sustainable strategies so today’s achievements translate into long-term security.
2. Handling complexity with confidence
   From brand partnerships and image rights to tax compliance and overseas earnings, the details can get complicated fast. We navigate these complexities daily, working collaboratively with your team’ (i.e. lawyers, agents etc) ensuring contracts are structured properly, obligations are met, and opportunities are maximised.

3. Giving you more time and focus
   Success demands focus. Athletes train harder, musicians tour longer, influencers engage more consistently when they aren’t burdened by admin or financial stress. A Business Manager lifts that weight, freeing you to concentrate fully on your craft.

4. Building for the future
   Careers evolve. Playing careers end, trends change, and audiences move on. We help talent prepare for what’s next, whether that’s launching a business, investing smartly, or transitioning into media, coaching or new ventures. With a long-term view, we keep you ahead of the curve.
