Fairer licensing.
Better outcomes.

Copyright licensing can
be complicated. We make it clearer.

The Fair Copyright Licensing Alliance (FCLA) helps businesses and organisations understand what they need, what they should be paying, and what to do when something doesn’t look right.

We advocate on your behalf to ensure that you are paying the right fee for the right licence. Our team has over a century of collective legal, practical and negotiating experience that has achieved on average a saving of nearly 20% for its clients. 80% of organisations with whom we have worked have benefitted from our work.

We believe copyright should be licensed fairly and clearly.

Licensing bodies have specialist teams and detailed knowledge on their side. We bring that same level of expertise to yours - combining legal, licensing, investigation, negotiation and industry experience to help you understand what you need, what you should be paying and when something needs to be challenged.
