I want to use music in my business but don’t want to take out a licence? What can IMRO do?

Written by Press Officer on July 30, 2025.

We understand that licensing can sometimes feel complicated, but it’s important to know that playing copyright music in public without a licence is against the law.

Under Section 140 of the Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000, businesses that use music without the proper licence could face significant penalties, including fines or other legal action.

By getting an IMRO Dual Music Licence, you’re not only staying on the right side of the law but also supporting the talented creators whose music helps make your business environment special.

We’re here to help make the process easy—so you can focus on what matters most: your business.
