Average act fee

3 · The big one Do you pay commission to agents or agencies to book acts?

How much, as a share of the act fee?

4 · PPL PRS Is your PPL PRS licence paid on estimated sessions? Most estates pay up front on an estimate of how many live music, DJ and karaoke nights each pub will hold.

Do you pay anyone to review and assess your PPL PRS reporting?

How much a year? We have started at £100 a venue, about 5% of a typical pub licence. Change it to your own figure.
