Can my business use Spotify for music?
Music For Fitness
Music Licensing Guidance
It’s not legal to use Spotify in a business environment.
According to Spotify:
‘It’s not legal to use Spotify in public places for any size and type of business including hotels, retail stores, restaurants, bars, offices, medical clinics, gyms, salons, spas or schools. With Spotify, you can only stream music for non-commercial, personal entertainment use.‘
Personal music streaming services, including Spotify, don’t cover Performance Rights Organisation (PRO) licences required for commercial use.
PRO (including PPL and PRS) licences are required to ensure that artists, songwriters, composers, record labels, music publishers and rights holders are properly paid for music that is played in a business environment. Without securing these licences, businesses playing copyrighted music are doing so illegally – and when caught, will incur huge fines.
