Hi there! I agree with all of the previous statements, but in addition, I would like to add it is important that you include an enviornmental opportunities analysis along with your business plan. This will allow you to take an aggressive look at both the internal strengths and weaknesses of your business and marketing plan and decide if you need to diversify or take a more aggressive approach.

Your next step in marketing - even though you should have already been doing this. Marketing let's your potential customers know about your business, your offerings and how to find you. To do this, you need to know your potential customers - who they are - where they find information - what they need. Then, you compile a message to target their interest and lead them to your business. If know one know who you are and what you offer - they will never find you.

Claus, In addition to the logistical steps, there's also a person named Bob Baker who put out a lot of great material on music marketing both pre and post internet. I had a jazz trio that played on a regular basis and his material was some of the best music marketing material I've read. I'd love to see your site.

As you have stated that you are starting this as a limited company I dont think its a worth choice first start it a pvt. ltd. as you are on with your business the your next step would be to attract customers.

As a marketing guy more then anything else, I would concern myself with starting my website while I worked on the other behind the scenes stuff. Go Daddy can help you create a decent site for around $15 a month and you can have it up this afternoon. Other then that, how are you planning on finding customers?
