My exit strategy, and plan, is to form Schwa after graduation. I will also be doing commission work and freelance on the side to sustain myself while Schwa begins its incubation period.
Things to do before graduation:
- Develop Schwa business cards, showreel and brand (almost done),
- Refine personal business cards, showreel and brand too,
- Research and apply for a Start-up visa and its requirements
- The processing time is ~8 weeks,
- Requires an endorsement letter from the university,
- Scout out accommodation in Huddersfield (and look for storage over summer),
- Apply for a National Insurance number (not sure if this is before or after applying for the work visa).
Things to do after graduation:
- Apply for the visa in early July so Schwa can be official in September,
- Register for self-assessment with HMRC,
- Set up art commission sheet and freelance profile as a part-time job alongside Schwa,
- Look for clients as Schwa, and do advertising/music video gigs to build a portfolio, while keeping our passion projects on the backburner.
