"Business man come shake my hand, show me numbers that I understand, your my candle I'm your burnin' wick, two sides comin' in quick, say goodbye when you see me sign, now I'm crucified...."

- Disorder and Disarray, by Rancid

The above mentioned lyrics from punk rock legends Rancid illustrate perfectly what can happen to an up-and-coming band if they sign with the wrong record label. Years of practices, shows, promotion and hard work can be quickly wiped out by companies who don't have the best wishes of their artists in mind. In fact, countless bad contracts have ruined thousands of bands and solo artists in the last decade. Something obviously needs to be done.

Let's be honest, local garage bands, small town country singers and wannabe R&B sensations don't have business teams in place to look after them. This fact is not easily lost on record company executives who are out to find the next big act at the lowest possible price. Whatever it takes to get a deal done, these execs will do it. Therefore, prior to signing with any record label, artists should do their research. Fortunately, a new tool exists to help musicians examine any businesses that they are going to get involved with: the online business search.

Though many people have heard of a background check, not many are aware of a business search. Simply put, an online business search is basically a background check performed on a business that can be purchased through web sites like PeopleFinders.com. As it is always a smart idea to perform a background check on an individual whom you are going into business with, it also makes sense to check out an organization that you are going to be financially involved with. Similar to a background check, an online business search provides only the necessary facts and is not filtered through any biased source. Thus, an online business search is a terrific aide when one is deciding to get involved with a particular business.
