Of course you use music in your work

You use music in your work. Because music fuels the success of your organisation. It creates atmosphere for your business, energises your workplace and breathes emotion into your advertising and communication. Have you ever stopped to think about what music creates? Packed dance floors, happy visitors, an atmosphere that people will talk about to their friends and family. Music brings you closer to your business dreams. It’s well worth the investment. And with a licence from BumaStemra, all your music use is taken care of at once. Good for music creators. Good for your success.

Music whenever and wherever, no fuss

Without music, things would be very different. Can you picture a cafe without music? A concert hall with no sound? Unimaginable. Music enriches our lives. And music is a vital contributor to your business success. If you want to use music for your business, BumaStemra can arrange it for you.

Whatever music you choose, a licence from BumaStemra gives you unlimited use of music from the Netherlands and around the world. We make sure music creators get paid fairly when their music is used. So however you use music to make your business a success, you can do it with no worries.

How it works

If you use music for your business, you are a music user. This could be music played in shops, bars and restaurants, music venues and clubs. Or music used on television and radio and in adverts. The BumaStemra licence gives you permission to use the music you want. The amount you pay depends on the type of music use. We’ll help you get the licence that suits your needs. We are a non-profit making organisation, and we work to ensure that music creators get paid for their songs and you can focus 100% on your business.

These businesses have noticed the positive influence of music

Music is essential for many entrepreneurs. It boosts employee morale and influences customer behaviour. The use of music is becoming increasingly important for the success of a business.

"Music is of great influence. My customers often hum, whistle or sing along. The people in the kitchen are behind their grill all day - for them it's even more enjoyable to have some music playing."

Restaurant Bij Ernst

"People sometimes find it difficult to find words for certain situations or feelings. Then they prefer to choose a piece of music that puts a feeling into words."

Crematorium Andringastate

"Both famous and smaller artists visit our café."

Eetcafé Muze

"Science has proven: music decreases stress"
