BumaStemra and Sena have made a collective licensing scheme with various sector organizations. The sector organization thereby takes care of its members’ entire administration and acts as an intermediary between you and us. For more information or to report changes please refer to your sector organization.

If you play music, you let someone else’s work/recording/performance be heard. Work from people such as lyricists, composers, musicians and producers. When music is used in public spaces such as a sales area, we speak of music being publicly performed. For this playing in public BumaStemra and Sena ask on behalf of the makers of the music a fee in the form of a licence. It does not matter if the music is heard via the radio, a cd or a supplier of background music.

The use of the music, the visitor intensity of your organization, the extent to which the public has access and the surface area of the space(s) in which the music can be heard, are important factors that determine how much a licence costs.

Based on large-scale market research and the data received from the musical works broadcast on radio and television stations, Buma and Sena determine which numbers have been played. This music came into being through lyricists, composers, musicians and producers. They are the rightsholders of BumaStemra and Sena. The fee is distributed among the rightsholders by Buma and Sena at the lowest possible cost.

There are people who make music and yet you will never hear a sound from them: music authors. BumaStemra arranges  the copyright for them. That is the right to a fee for the composer, lyricist and music publisher when their musical work is played or performed in public. Sena arranges the so-called neighbouring rights. That is the right to a fee for musicians and/or producers when their music recording is played in public. Thanks to BumaStemra and Sena everyone who was involved in the production of a musical work receives the fee that they have the right to. Via mijnlicentie.nl you easily arrange all necessary rights.

Collaboration between collective management organizations means convenience. A company that makes music public now receives one invoice instead of two separate invoices from two rights organizations such as BumaStemra and Sena. In addition, the registration of the license with both rights organizations is done on the basis of the same data. This means that the use of music is well arranged in one action.

Music works as a supporting element in sales, contributes to creating the right ambience and to a positive experience of your business. Read the stories of fellow entrepreneurs on this site about the value of music for the various industries.

Even if you do not use music, please let us know. We register it in our system so that you no longer receive any reminders from us.

For live music you need a BumaStemra license for entertainment music. You don’t need a license from Sena for this.

BumaStemra and Sena work together with their foreign sister organisations. Together they ensure that foreign artistes receive money from the Netherlands and vice versa.
