Limited Online Music Licence (LOML)

We’ve recently changed the name of this licence – it was previously known as the Limited Online Exploitation Licence. It’s only the name that has changed and the licence’s terms and conditions remain unchanged.

LOML is perfect for:

small online services
offering music or general entertainment content to the UK public
revenue generated by the service is less than £12,500 per year

Costs

Annual licences start at £107 +VAT. If you know you will only use music for part of the year you can choose to be charged pro rata for the relevant months, down to a minimum charge of £54 (excluding VAT).

Please note: We cannot issue refunds if you have paid for your licence but then change your plans.
