Do I need a music license?

Music plays a crucial role in setting the atmosphere in your establishment, business, or public venue. Naturally, music creators deserve fair compensation for their work. This is why you usually need a combined license from BumaStemra (composers/lyricists/publishers) and Sena (musicians/producers) to use music that can be heard by customers or employees. These music licenses are governed by copyright law and neighboring rights law.

Would you like to know if you need a license? You will require a license if one of the following statements applies to your business. If so, you can follow the steps to calculate the license fee and, if necessary, obtain a license.
