"As music journalists we are essentially creative people, not entrepreneurs so the course really helped us gain valuable business skills. It was fascinating – in particular learning about the nature of investment, how it works and all about tax breaks,” Electronic Sound co-founder Mark Wernham told [Business Weekly](http://www.businessweekly.co.uk/tech-trail/investment-tree/17060-digital-music-mag-publisher-wins-notes-worth-p175k-from-ukti?ref=hypebot.com).

The funding will be used to step up marketing and to expand internationally. “We’re planning to capitalise on the US market and other English-speaking territories as well as expand into the Netherlands, Scandinavia and Germany,” says Wernham.
