It’s only PPLPRS and their parent companies who licence original artist music here in the UK. There are ways of adjusting your exposure to licence fees though depending on what type of business you are and how important/integral music is to you. -- Remove music from unnecessary areas -- Sounds obvious but removing non-essential music/TV could rack up savings quite quickly. Also, muting a TV for example means that no music licenses are required as no audio can be heard. -- Play copyright free content -- Copyright or royalty free music has changed hugely over the past 10 years. There are numerous suppliers of this type of content and the choice of tracks runs into the hundreds of thousands. Staff/customers won’t recognise the music so you won’t have that familiarity but there are studies that say music like this allows customers to focus on purchases and not get distracted. -- Play Soundalikes -- A halfway house between original artists and royalty free, Soundalikes are popular commercial tracks performed by session musicians not the original recording. This means that only a PRS licence is required and PPL cost is removed. -- Contact us to explore all the options that might be open to you.
