Our services

The services we offer you can be divided into three groups: rights management services, service channels and communications services as well as support and safeguarding of interests services.

Rights management services

• Global registration and maintenance of author and works details: as our member, you get an international author identifier (IPI number) and your works get international work identifiers (ISWC codes).
• Making agreements on the use of music: we negotiate the terms and prices of using music with various parties and make licensing deals with music users.
• We sell licenses for using your music.
• We collect royalties for the use of your music in Finland and abroad.
• We process music usage reports so that the collected royalties can be paid exactly to those music authors whose music was played.
• We pay royalties and withhold the tax from royalties paid as earned income.
• We provide advice and help in matters related to taxation and revenue models.
• We process complaints, i.e. identify potential issues with royalty payments and sort them out.

Service channels and communications services

• 24/7 service channels online: in the web service, you can submit work or performance notifications, keep track of the royalties paid to you and submit notifications of self-administration.

• Customer service and advice through our website’s live chat service, over the phone and by email.

• Information, instructions and the latest news on our website and in our newsletter and social media channels.

Support services and safeguarding of interests

• As our member, you can also join our member organisations (The Society of Finnish Composers, Finnish Music Creators’ Association, The Finnish Music Publishers Association) and gain access to their services.

• The Finnish Music Foundation’s grants and instrument bank.

• Social and political advocacy work related to, for example, social security and unemployment benefits for professional music authors.
