If you use music in your business, you need a music licence. You obtain the licence by reporting that you play music and signing an agreement. You can do this directly in our webshop.

In the webshop, you choose what type of business you have and how you use the music. You will then automatically receive the correct licence.

Yes, you do. The licence from Stim gives you the right to play music publicly—for your customers, for example. If you use, say, Spotify, that permission is not included in your agreement; you also need a business music provider when you run a business.

There are many music providers other than Spotify – read each provider’s terms to find out which rules apply.

Which Stim licence you need depends on the type of business you have. Find the right licence in Stim’s shop.

We make at least eight major payouts during the year for a wide range of music sources. The compensation covers music played in shops, live venues, cinemas, on radio, TV, and much more. For the major streaming services, we make special payouts once per quarter.

A complete overview of the year’s payouts can be found in Stim’s annual schedule. You can also visit the payout calendar to see the breakdown by different music areas.

How much have you received in payouts? See all the details in the Stim app or on My Pages.

The compensation to the music creator and music publisher varies depending on the conditions of the performance. We take into account how many people attended the concert, the ticket price, how much music was played during the entire event – and finally, how many people the Stim royalties will be split between. That is, how many rights holders there are for each of the songs that were performed.
