Frequently asked questions
Do I need both PPL and IPRS?
Often yes for public performance of recorded music, because different rights may be administered by different societies. We map this for your setlist and format.
Can licensing be done last minute?
It is risky. Applications and payments can take time. We recommend starting as soon as the music plan is known.
