Understanding Music Licensing for Business

Using music for business requires the proper licensing to avoid legal issues and ensure compliance with performance rights organizations. SoundMachine simplifies this process by including the necessary licenses in our subscription plans, so you can focus on your business without the hassle

In the United States, businesses must obtain rights from organizations like ASCAP and BMI to legally play copyrighted music. If you're unsure about how these licensing bodies differ, check out our comparison of ASCAP vs. BMI to see which applies to your business.

For businesses in Canada, licensing is covered through SOCAN and Re:Sound. Our music licensing guide for Canadian businesses explains the requirements and how to stay compliant.

In the United Kingdom, companies need to secure a public performance license from PRS for Music and PPL. If you're wondering what type of music license your UK business needs, our UK business music guide provides everything you need to know.

By working with SoundMachine, you get a commercial music streaming service that takes care of licensing so you can focus on creating the perfect ambiance for your customers.

Music for business done right. Try it risk-free.
