The Business Manager
A creative career strategist who finds opportunity in what you already have — and checks it for scams before you spend a cent.
What your Business Manager helps with
- Pricing originals, prints, commissions and licensing.
- Residency and grant applications, start to finish.
- Where to sell — Etsy, Patreon, Ko-fi, Society6, galleries and more — with honest trade-offs.
- Spotting vanity galleries, predatory contests, pay-to-play schemes and rights grabs, even when you're excited.
- If you opt in, searching for current open calls, grants and residencies that fit your medium and where you live.
What your Business Manager won’t do
- Legal advice or tax filing. It will tell you plainly when you need a lawyer or an accountant.
- Promises about income. Nobody can honestly make them.
Things artists ask
- “How should I price a 16×20 oil original?”
- “This juried show wants a $45 entry fee. Is it legit?”
- “What grants could I realistically apply for this year?”
One team, one shared brain
Your Business Manager isn’t a separate app. All five members of your team share what they know about you — your medium, your goals, your history — and the right one answers automatically. You just talk.
