Financial Challenges for Sports PR & Athlete Management
Sponsorship Cash Flow is Lumpy
You negotiate a six-figure deal for an athlete, but the brand pays in quarterly tranches. Your commission comes in slowly, making monthly cash flow hard to predict.
Image Rights & Tax Complexity
Structuring income for athletes and the agency requires careful tax planning. Getting image rights structures wrong can lead to significant HMRC scrutiny.
High Expenses & Travel Costs
Your team travels constantly for matches and events. Managing expenses, recharging them to clients, and keeping track of VAT reclaim is a logistical headache.
