Whether you wish to play music at a business, social activity or special event, you will usually need TheMusicLicence.

The cost of TheMusicLicence depends on a number of factors including your type of venue and how you use music in your day-to-day operations.

You can obtain TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS Ltd.

PPL PRS Ltd is a joint venture between PPL and PRS for Music to simplify music licensing for businesses.

If you plan to broadcast music on TV or radio in the UK, you probably need to obtain a PPL broadcast licence.  

We could be making you money. Becoming a member of PPL means you can start to collect the money you are entitled to for the use of your recorded music or performances.

PPL members can view statements, update repertoire and make claims through their online myPPL account.

If you have performed on, or if you own the rights to recorded music that has been played outside of the UK, then we can help you claim international royalties (neighbouring rights).

You can request an ISRC after you have joined as a member. If you do not need to become a member, please follow our instructions.

PPL has an annual payment for UK income while payments for other rights are made throughout the year. Take a look at the payment dates for PPL members during this year.
