Why is a music licence required in my business?
Music can be an extremely effective tool to create the right ambience, attracting and keeping customers and so much more. However, many are not aware that they would need the permission of the people who own the music to use or play their music in a business setting.
By playing recorded/live music in your business premises and/or events in public through any means, including by use of radio, television, online broadcast services and/or live performances, you will require a licence from MRM.
As permission is legally needed from the music rights holders, a music licence from MRM grants you this permission whereby you don't have to contact each and every music rights holder (composers, lyricists, publishers, recording labels, artistes and musicians) individually to obtain their permission to play recorded/live music from MRM's vast repertoire.
Why MRM licence?
- It is the country's one-stop licensing provider for a global repertoire of music.
- It offers Fair Value for Music providing a convenient and easy access to the music rights for public performance, broadcast, reproduction and commercial rental.
- It provides single music licences to music users enabling them legal access to use music in all its various forms.
Type of licence MRM grant:-
Single Event Public Performance Licences for one-off and continuing events, road shows and concerts;
Annual Public Performance Licences for the physical commercial premises/outlets.
MRM does issue other less common types of licences (broadcast, commercial rental and reproduction for the purpose of public performance) and information on such licences is available upon request.
Which licence should I apply?
Use the business category listed below to find the right licence you need.
Each licence reflects how you use music and whether it is background music, featured music, live music or reproduction. The licence fees payable should reflect both the size of your business and the way you use it in you day to day operation.
