Common Questions
What is a music licence?
A music licence grants legal permission to use copyrighted music in your business. It ensures creators are compensated and that you are compliant with copyright laws.
What happens without a licence?
Using music without a licence can result in legal action, including fines, penalties, and injunctions. Under Nigerian law, you may be ordered to cease all musical performances.
How much does it cost?
The cost varies depending on your business type, frequency of music use, and venue size. MCSN provides a personalised quote after assessing your requirements.
Do I need a licence for background music?
Yes. Any business playing music in public — including background music on speakers, radio, or streaming services — requires a licence, even if you don't charge for admission.
