How to decide quickly
Follow this short flow if you want a fast recommendation.
Identify your primary role
Decide how you mainly interact with the industry today.
- If you sell your own labor, content, or image as an individual, you are likely a Model (Creator).
- If you sell services to other organizations, you are likely a Business.
- If you run or operate shoots as a production entity, you are likely a Studio.
- If you coordinate multiple studios, brands, or a platform, you are likely Enterprise.
Check your team and structure
Look at how many people and entities you coordinate.
- If it is mostly you and occasional collaborators, Model is a strong starting point.
- If you manage staff or contractors under one brand, Business or Studio usually fits.
- If you oversee several studios or brands, or a talent roster across them, Enterprise is typically more appropriate.
Match your workflows to features
Compare your daily work to the focus of each account type:
- Heavy on casting, call sheets, and productions → start with Studio.
- Heavy on client services, campaigns, and coordination → choose Business.
- Heavy on personal brand, bookings, and credits → choose Model.
- Heavy on governance, reporting, and integrations across multiple entities → move toward Enterprise.
Plan for growth and upgrades
Consider where you expect to be in the next year.
- Begin with the account that matches your current role.
- As you add staff, brands, or studios, add appropriate Business or Studio accounts under your umbrella.
- When coordination across multiple entities becomes complex, talk to ModelBoard about Enterprise options.
If you are unsure between Studio and Enterprise, start with a Studio account. You can typically add more structure or move to an Enterprise setup later if your organization grows.
Model (Creator) account in depth
Model accounts are built around showcasing you as talent and connecting you with verified industry partners.
What a Model account is designed for
A Model account is best when you:
- Want a central, verified profile that studios and businesses can trust.
- Need to showcase your portfolio and industry credits in a professional way.
- Join collaborative projects such as shoots, campaigns, or productions coordinated by others.
- Rely on industry discovery to get contacted for new opportunities.
Typical workflows for creators
With a Model account, your day-to-day work typically includes:
- Updating your profile, portfolio, and credits so they reflect your most recent work.
- Responding to casting proposals or invitations from studios and businesses.
- Joining collaboration boards that organize the logistics and communication around each shoot or project.
- Keeping your availability and preferences up to date to streamline casting decisions.
Many compliance and documentation tasks for a shoot are handled by the studio or agency. When they use 2257 or other compliance apps, your Model account pairs with those workflows so your participation is properly recorded.
Business account in depth
Business accounts align ModelBoard around service delivery, client projects, and ongoing relationships.
What a Business account is designed for
Choose a Business account if you:
- Provide professional services (marketing, legal, consulting, management, events, creative direction) to adult industry clients.
- Coordinate projects or campaigns that involve both talent and studios.
- Need a discoverable business profile that clarifies what you offer and where you operate.
- Want to standardize how you collaborate with clients and partners over time.
Typical workflows for businesses
Common patterns with a Business account include:
- Creating boards or projects for each client engagement or campaign.
- Adding models, studios, and other providers as collaborators with clear roles and responsibilities.
- Using casting and talent tools to find verified performers or studios that match your project requirements.
- Tracking credits and outcomes so your work is visible and attributable across the network.
- Coordinating compliance-sensitive workflows with studios and legal partners using designated MB Apps.
Studio account in depth
Studio accounts support the full lifecycle of productions, from casting to credits.
What a Studio account is designed for
A Studio account fits when you:
- Run productions or shoots on a recurring basis.
- Need to manage casting, applications, and talent selection for each production.
- Coordinate crew, locations, and schedules for multiple scenes or units.
- Maintain detailed credits and call sheets that can be shared with talent and partners.
Typical workflows for studios
With a Studio account, you typically:
- Build a studio profile and catalog that documents your productions and collaborations.
- Publish casting calls with detailed requirements, rates, and expectations.
- Review model applications and portfolios to decide who to cast.
- Generate production call sheets to structure each day of shooting, including timing, locations, and responsibilities.
- Log credits and collaborations so contributors see their work reflected in their profiles.
- Use compliance tools and MB Apps to structure 2257 and related record-keeping alongside your call sheets.
If you collaborate with external agencies or platforms, coordinate which entity owns casting, compliance, and credits for each production so responsibilities are clear in ModelBoard and in your contracts.
Enterprise account in depth
Enterprise accounts extend ModelBoard for organizations that coordinate multiple studios, brands, or platforms under one strategy.
When Enterprise is appropriate
Enterprise setups are designed for cases where you:
- Manage multiple studios, labels, or brands that share ownership or governance.
- Operate a talent agency, booking group, or management roster that interacts with many external studios and platforms.
- Run a digital platform or marketplace where studios and creators publish content or run activities.
- Need a consistent way to handle compliance, reporting, and integrations across all of these entities.
Enterprise structures: Agency vs Holding vs Platform
Enterprise accounts are typically organized into three structure types. Choose the one that mirrors how your organization actually operates.
Agency-style Enterprise setups are for organizations that represent or manage talent at scale.
When Agency fits
- You manage a roster of models or creators and coordinate bookings on their behalf.
- You regularly negotiate rates, terms, and availability between talent and studios.
- You may also handle legal and compliance oversight for your roster.
How an Agency Enterprise behaves
- You maintain an agency-level view of your roster, projects, and key relationships.
- Each model can still maintain a Model account, while your agency links their work to your representation.
- You typically integrate with casting, call sheet, and compliance tools so your roster is booked and documented consistently across studios.
- Reporting focuses on talent performance, bookings, and partner studios across the network.
Choose Agency if your primary asset is the talent you represent, rather than the studios you own or the platform you run.
Holding-style Enterprise setups are for corporate groups or owners with multiple studios, labels, or business units.
When Holding fits
- You own or control multiple studios or brands, each potentially with its own staff.
- You want consistent workflows, compliance expectations, and reporting across all subsidiaries.
- You may also run shared services (legal, finance, HR) that support every studio.
How a Holding Enterprise behaves
- You see a group-level view of all studios, including activities, collaborations, and key metrics.
- Each studio operates with its own Studio account, while the holding company enforces group-wide standards.
- Integrations and MB Apps are typically configured once and shared across studios where appropriate.
- Reporting emphasizes cross-studio comparisons, risk, and compliance posture at the group level.
Choose Holding if your primary asset is the portfolio of studios or brands you oversee.
Platform-style Enterprise setups are for digital products or marketplaces built on top of ModelBoard's workflows.
When Platform fits
- You run a consumer-facing or partner-facing platform where creators and studios interact.
- You want ModelBoard to handle profiles, collaborations, and compliance workflows for your ecosystem.
- You need integrations and MB Apps to connect ModelBoard data with your own platform systems.
How a Platform Enterprise behaves
- You treat ModelBoard as an underlying collaboration and compliance layer within a broader product.
- Studios, businesses, and creators may onboard to your platform, while their activity reflects into connected ModelBoard entities.
- Integrations focus on data exchange, such as syncing profiles, credits, or workflow events with your own databases.
- Reporting centers on platform-wide activity, such as volume of collaborations, compliance signals, or participating entities.
Choose Platform if your primary asset is the technology platform where industry participants interact, and ModelBoard is a core part of that infrastructure.
Enterprise setups typically require coordination with the ModelBoard team to align account structure, data flows, and integrations. If you are considering Agency, Holding, or Platform options, contact ModelBoard sales or support for tailored guidance.
