Listening to music at work?

It’s great that you’re considering playing music in the workplace. But it can be hard to understand the necessary licensing requirements to play music in your business. We want to make it simple so you can get licensed correctly and start playing music at work today.

Music at work: All the facts

Whatever your business – pub or restaurant, retailer, warehouse, sports club, call centre, or manufacturing factory just to name a few – music can not only help you to engage with your customers and visitors, but it could also improve the wellbeing and morale of your employees. 

Under The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, permission is needed from the relevant copyright holders – those people who create music – to play or perform music in public. 

Purchasing TheMusicLicence gives you this permission, in relation to most of the commercially available music. This ranges from grassroots and independent artists and composers through to the biggest names in the business.
