Who needs an SGAE license?
Any business playing music publicly in Spain requires an SGAE license, including restaurants, bars, shops, gyms, hotels, and offices with public access.
SGAE fees
SGAE calculates fees based on the type of establishment, business hours, surface area, and whether the music is live or recorded. Fees are renewed annually.

What happens if my business doesn't pay SGAE fees?
