The target of my thesis is to analyse and recommend the appropriate financial resourses for the commercial subject operating in culture. For analysing this problem I have chosen an external company, which mainly focuses on organizing the music festivals and I have used different forms of funding from not only public resources. The conclusion of the thesis should help the owner of the company to raise the potencial of the festival due to the financing from more resources.
