The profit on previous releases allows us to finance the new ones. I ve heard it is a non-profit organization. Musea legally exists under a very special status defined by French laws, as a Non Profit Association. This allows us to exist, to make a commercial business, even to make profit. The only limit is that this profit can not be given to any private person or shared between investors.
All profit has to be reinvested in our activity.
By choosing this Non Profit status, we wanted to show to all our partners, musicians, music lovers, that our aim was not business or money, but just to share the music we love, to work in order to have it available for the largest possible audience. Our only motivation is musical passion. Of course, we are aware of the economic reality and we manage our budget as best we can, not to make profit, but only to cover our costs, pay our bills and salaries and go on existing. If it sometimes happens to have a little money left, we invest it in promotion, productions or help financially our bands to tour in international festivals. When we started Musea in 1985, it was only run by benevolent people.
