Legacy agencies take 30%. Browse platforms strip the contract. Private clients cancel at 72h. ARTATVA was designed from the artist's side first — 80% take, a contract that protects both sides, DBS processed by a government-registered umbrella body, and payouts you can plan a month around.

you keep the rent.
Traditional UK entertainment agencies take 30–40% — and the performer handles their own compliance on top. ARTATVA takes 20%, processes compliance for you, and releases escrow within 7 days of delivery. On a typical £1,200 booking, that’s an extra £120–£240 in your pocket — every time.
Everything a good agency would do.
Minus the 30%.
80% of every booking
Transparent commission — never a surprise cut, never a mystery 'platform fee'. You see the client's pay, the platform fee, and your take on one line.
Payout within 7 days of the event
Stripe escrows at booking, releases on confirmed delivery. No 60-day net terms, no chasing invoices.
Signed before a pound moves
Every booking is contracted with cancellation terms, kill-fees, IP and scope defined. You stop chasing emails when a client ghosts.
DBS + PLI, processed for you
Enhanced DBS via uCheck, insurance broker referral for compliant PLI — both published on your profile so institutional work can actually find you.
Cover work, paid properly
Join the backup pool for bookings in your discipline. If you step in, you're paid the primary's rate — not a fraction.
Your craft, curated
Portfolio page built for the craft — not a generic profile grid. Video, audio, cinematic images, discography, testimonials — all laid out for an institutional reviewer.
Institutional work,
finally reachable.

The things most platforms do to artists.
