An Artist Management Agreement is used by a personal manager to contract with a recording and performing musical artist to set the terms for managing the artist's career. The manager receives a percentage of all the income generated by the artist for the management services provided.
Managers' commissions are typically between 15 to 20% of an artist's gross income. Whether it's 15% or 20% really depends on the level of the band and the bargaining power of each party. I've seen some net deals, but they are extremely rare. That being said, I always push for a net commission on merchandise.
How long is a normal artist manager contract? The standard length of the management contract is three years but it can vary from 2 to 5 years on a case by case basis. Most contracts also include a "Sunset" clause.
As a vendor or contractor, you must register online to do business with the City through the Payee Information Portal (PIP). Once you are approved by the Comptroller's Office, you will be provided with an active vendor code.
In addition to the length of the agreement, a property management contract covers everything the property manager will do for the owner and fees for the service. The contract also stipulates which party is responsible for the functions of the daily operations of the property.
The agreement should outline the fees and compensation structure for the property management services. This may include a percentage of the monthly rent, flat fees, leasing fees, maintenance charges, and any additional expenses that the property owner might be responsible for.
