It depends on how the background music is played.

These days, most background music is played through speakers from online streaming websites or through music streaming apps. In such cases, you will need a licence for Public Performance Rights but not a licence for Reproduction Rights or Public Communication Rights.

If you have live bands playing background music, you will similarly need a licence for Public Performance Rights but not a licence for Reproduction Rights or Public Communication Rights.

Different rates may apply depending on the type of business, premise and music use.
