Frequently Asked Questions

How does Sibee work?

Sibee provides businesses with a licence to play carefully curated background music licensed directly from independent artists.
Because the music is not registered with PRS or PPL, you can legally play it in your business without needing those additional licences.

Our model is simple: one fixed-price licence that covers you for 12 months.
You purchase your licence through our website, and we send you:

· A licence certificate for your premises

· A template email you can use to notify PRS/PPL that you are playing music from the Sibee catalogue

· A link to access the music playlists

Your licence automatically renews each year, but you are free to cancel at any time.

What kind of businesses is Sibee suitable for?

Sibee is suitable for a wide range of businesses where music creates atmosphere rather than being the main focus.
Our customers include cafés, restaurants, waiting rooms, pubs, shops, hotels, offices, leisure centres, and other hospitality or customer-facing spaces.

What type of music do I get?

Our catalogue focuses on high-quality background music designed to enhance the atmosphere without distracting customers.
This includes easy-listening playlists, authentic cultural and global sounds, and genre-based collections suited to different business environments.

Can I sample the music before I buy?

Yes. You can listen to samples from our catalogue before purchasing, so you can be confident the music suits your space and your customers

Once purchased how do I access the SIBEE music?

Once you purchase your licence, we send you a link to access the music playlists.
No technical skills are needed- just press play. And if you ever need help, we’re here to support you.

Is the music legal to play in my business?

Yes. All music in the Sibee catalogue is legally licensed for public performance in UK businesses.
The artists we work with confirm that their tracks are not registered with PRS, PPL, or any other collecting society, and that Sibee is authorised to license them directly to your business

Do I still need a PRS/PPL Music Licence If I Use SIBEE?

No- as long as you only play music from the Sibee catalogue.
Because Sibee licenses music directly from the artists, and those tracks are not registered with PRS or PPL, no additional PRS or PPL licence is required for that music.

If you play any other music (such as radio, TV, personal playlists, Spotify, or live broadcasts), separate licences may still apply.

Can I have live music performances in my business if I use the SIBEE licence?

Yes. Your Sibee licence covers your day-to-day background music from our catalogue.
For occasional live music performances, you will need a separate PRS/PPL licence, usually charged as a fixed daily fee. This means you can use Sibee for your regular music and still host one-off live events, as long as you are properly licensed for those performances.

What happens if I am inspected?

You will have a Sibee licence certificate showing that your business is licensed to play music from our catalogue.
This confirms that the music you are using is legally licensed for public performance through SIBEE. Having operated for over 18 years, PRS and PPL are aware of SIBEE as an established alternative provider.

Who owns the music in the SIBEE

The artists retain full ownership of their music.
Sibee acts as a licensing agent, authorised by the artists to license their tracks to businesses for background music use.

How much does it cost and what’s included?

The cost is £140 per year or £12 per month

Your Sibee licence includes:

· Legal permission to play Sibee music in your business

· Access to our curated playlists

· A music licence certificate for your premises

· Human support when you need it

Pricing is clear, affordable, and with no hidden extras.

Is there a contract or long-term commitment?

No long-term contracts are required.
Your licence runs for 12 months and can be renewed if you wish to continue using the music. You can cancel at any time.

Can I use SIBEE in more than one location?

Each business location requires its own licence.
If you operate multiple premises, you can select the number of locations when purchasing your licence.

Why is Sibee cheaper than traditional music licences?

Sibee licenses music directly from independent artists rather than through collecting societies.
This removes layers of administration and allows us to offer a simpler, more affordable solution for businesses — while still paying artists fairly.
