About EBA

For the pro sports athlete and successful creator, keeping track of finances can also be a full time job. At EBA, we take care of the paperwork so you can get back to doing what you do best.

In Canada, there are multitudes of Federal and Provincial grants and tax credits to support the creative process. With new technology developments, new royalties and income streams are being created regularly. While these programs have all been instituted to give Canadian creators a leg up and ensure proper compensation for art, be it music, visual or otherwise,  keeping track and on top of them  is a full time job.

Founded by a Canadian Entertainment lawyer in response to a perceived deficiency in for-hire administrative support in the music business, EBA now provides a wide range of services to all areas of the entertainment industry.

EBA services include grant and tax credit administration, royalty collection, and outsourced services to the music industry, production legal support, tax credit administration and receivable financing for the film &TV industry and business management to the sports industry.

Given the workload required by music managers, lawyers, independent labels, and publishers on a daily basis, much of the available funding and royalty tracking is not always followed up vigorously.  This can often mean tens and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars of uncollected income and even more in untapped funding opportunities.  Even the most talented and able bodied managers and owners do not have the time, energy, or up to date information to track all potential income streams all of the time.

It is for this reason that Entertainment Business Affairs Inc. ("EBA") was created.

More and more money has become available to creators and entrepreneurs in the music and filmed entertainment business.

In the music industry, this rings true both through royalty income streams as well as private and government funded support initiatives including tax credits, grants and loans. In the film and television industry, tax credits are available to film producers in virtually every province in Canada.

While these revenue streams are widely available, royalty stream collection in the music business continues to be a largely unknown and untapped area for many - especially those in the independent sectors. As well, the application and administration of private and public sector grant and tax credit opportunities, has despite the best intentions, proven cumbersome to track and file all the opportunities on time, all of the time.

EBA is now exclusively devoted to supporting the administrative detail work require to maximize income for independent business owners and creators in the areas of recorded music, film, and TV.  Founded by a lawyer specializing in the music industry, EBA is perfectly positioned to react and assist to maximize your potential income that in many cases is sitting waiting for you even though you didn't know it existed!
