Is a rock band more likely to get signed if?

Question

they submit a completed and researched business plan with their demo? who would be more likely to fund them, labels or investors?

Answer 1

no, if they play good and the record company think they will be able to keep up making good records

Answer 2

If you're looking to get signed, do what most successful artist have done, put it out on your own. Motley Crue made their first album on there own, the sales generated interest, as did MC Hammer.

Now in the digital age it's easier to put out songs and music.
