Walk into any shop, café, clinic or salon and you'll likely hear music playing in the background. Behind the pleasant soundtrack lies a system that has stopped working for both businesses and artists.
For decades, in-store music has been routed through Performing Rights Organisations — PRS and PPL in the UK, BMI and ASCAP in the US — plus a long tail of licensing middlemen. The result: businesses pay twice for the same song, surprises on the bill, and artists whose work fills the air get paid weeks later at fractions of a penny per play.
Audiimax was built to replace that loop entirely. We hold the licence, we curate the catalogue, and we send 35% of our revenue back to the independent artists every month. The business plays legally for one flat fee. The artist gets paid. The system is honest.
For retailers, this changes what's possible. Music stops being a compliance headache and starts being a real brand asset — one you can schedule, voice-message, and even monetise through Audiimax Play Ads. For independent artists, it turns the same in-store speakers into a fair revenue channel instead of a black box. That's the retail revolution we're trying to lead.
