VRCA Records has its own in-house record label with national and international distribution, has its own production company called Arrowhead Productions and an artist development and management company and in-house booking agency. Offices are in Indianapolis, New York, and Los Angeles.

Paul Allsup is the CEO of the VRCA Enterprises, LLC and has a long background in the music industry in Nashville, Tennessee.
