FAQ
First, Mars' team of music experts identifies an artist to connect with Ahana Markets (“Ahana”), an affiliated SEC registered broker-dealer. Ahana works together with the artist team to assess investment viability. After historical financial analysis, and thorough due diligence, Ahana along with the artist’s team, structures the offering. Offerings can consist of a variety of income streams (this is shown on the Artist’s offering page, and further detail can be found in the formal offering documents).
High-level breakdown of investment composition is available on each Artist’s offering page, and further detail can be found in the Offering Circular. Investments can be composed of a number of revenue streams from each artist.
