Music licensing, the way it should’ve worked all along

Four bills. Four deadlines. One monthly payment.

ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR each bill you separately, on their own schedule, for thousands of dollars at a time. We pay all four upfront, then you pay us a single predictable amount each month.

Same model that fixed commercial insurance: someone pays the lump sum so you don’t have to. We just did it for music licensing.

Find out where you stand. 3 questions.

Real numbers. No email required.

1. Do you host live bands, DJs, or karaoke?

2. Do you stream from a personal Spotify or Apple Music account?

3. What’s your occupancy capacity?

The old way is killing your cashflow.

We didn’t invent music licensing. We just put a wrapper around it so you stop dreading March.

The old way
  • ✕Four invoices, four times a year, from four different organizations
  • ✕$2,000–$5,000+ due all at once — usually around the same time as your insurance and ABC license
  • ✕Four logins. Four customer numbers. Four renewal dates to track.
  • ✕Surprise SESAC bill in October you forgot existed
  • ✕Personal Spotify exposes you to per-song statutory damages
  • ✕Demand letter shows up — now you’re negotiating from behind
  • ✕Miss one renewal and you’re unlicensed without realizing it

What we’re actually solving

Music licensing is two problems pretending to be one.

Compliance is the obvious one. The two that matter more for keeping the lights on are the administrative load and the cashflow shape.

Problem 1

The administrative pile

Every bar owner gets the same stack of invoices: liquor license, health permit, insurance premium, equipment leases, POS fees, and now four music licenses on four different schedules. Most of them weren’t there when you opened.

We collapse the four music ones into a single line item.

Problem 2

The March gut-punch

If you opened in March, every single annual fee — ABC, insurance, health, all four PROs — hits your bank account at the same time. That’s not a budget; that’s a hostage situation.

Predictable monthly payments turn $5,000-in-March into something you can plan around.

Four organizations. Four bills. Four chances to lapse.

They each license a different catalog. They each can sue you independently. We handle all four.

Set it up once. Forget it.

Five minutes to onboard. Then it runs without you.

1

Tell us about your venue

Capacity, music type, hours. Three questions on this page got you 80% of the way — we just need a few more.

2

Sign once, we handle the rest

Letter of agency for each PRO so they call us, not you. We pay them in full on day one.

3

Pay us monthly. Forever. Forget it.

One predictable amount, auto-renewed, with a compliance certificate in your portal you can show any agent.

What you’re actually exposed to

We don’t love the scare-stat thing, but the math is the math.

$150K

statutory ceiling per song. Settlements are usually less, but the threat is the leverage.

4

separate organizations that each have their own enforcement process and their own renewal date.

~100%

PRO win rate when these cases actually reach a judge. They are not bluffing.

“

I was paying four different organizations on four different schedules and still got a cease-and-desist because I missed a GMR renewal. Nibbles and Bits took over everything in one afternoon. Haven’t thought about it since.
