SoniVera
verified No Separate Rights Fees

Background music for your business without a separate Buma Sena or PPL bill on top

If you run a business in the Netherlands, you may already be familiar with Buma Sena - the organisation that collects performing-rights fees for commercially released music played in public venues. Annual invoices from Buma Sena can be unpredictable, rising with floor space, opening hours and location count. Many business owners are looking for a cleaner, more predictable alternative.

SoniVera is not a Buma Sena workaround. It is a genuinely different music model: a catalogue of over 35,000 original tracks produced fully in-house, which means playing them through your SoniVera subscription does not trigger a separate Buma Sena, PPL or PRS obligation. You swap an annual rights bill for one flat monthly subscription.

How the cost comparison works

Playing commercially released music in a business setting typically requires a licence from your national performing-rights organisation - in the Netherlands, that is Buma Sena. The annual fee depends on the type of business, floor area and other variables, and it is separate from any streaming service you already pay for. SoniVera replaces that model: because every track is original and produced in-house, the performing-rights question simply does not arise for the music you play through SoniVera.

We make no absolute legal guarantees - licensing landscapes evolve - but the fundamental model is straightforward: SoniVera owns its catalogue, and playing your own music through your own platform does not generate an obligation to a third-party rights body. Plans start from €7,99 per location. Start your 7 day free trial today.

One flat monthly subscription replaces the unpredictable Buma Sena invoice that commercially released music would attract.

Frequently asked questions

Does SoniVera music require a Buma Sena licence in the Netherlands?
SoniVera's catalogue is original and produced entirely in-house. Because the music is not commercially released third-party repertoire, it does not fall under standard Buma Sena collection arrangements. We recommend confirming your specific situation if in doubt, but the model is designed to remove that obligation.
How does SoniVera pricing compare to a typical Buma Sena bill?
Buma Sena fees vary by business type and size, making them hard to predict. SoniVera charges from €7,99 per location per month, the same every month, with volume discounts for multiple locations. Start free for 7 days.
Is this legal?
Yes. SoniVera creates and owns its music catalogue. Playing original, in-house music in a business setting is a fundamentally different situation from playing third-party commercially released music, which is what performing-rights organisations such as Buma Sena are designed to license.
