Studio Owners … PPL / PRS … you might want to read!

I had an insightful conversation when renewing our license yesterday. So the way we operate has changed meaning we do less classes during the holidays so I wanted to alter this on our license as I knew it would save money! Once we had gone through the process (and saved almost £2k per year😳) the lady on the phone then said “how many of these classes work towards and take exams “ my reply was All of them! She then went on to tell me if that was the case I was exempt from the license fee …. WHAT! EXEMPT AFTER PAYING FOR A DECADE!

The conversation developed and she asked which governing body we sat exams with but unfortunately ours was not on there … but a hell of a lot were! So I them contacted my governing body and they were very elusive when I asked why they aren’t on the list, they seems to think being on it would rock the boat for some studios… I mean I can only see it as being a positive if they were on this list it could save me in excess of £6k per year! At least 8-10 GB’s were on the list so it can’t be a bad thing right?

I went on mention how moving to another GB would be appealing to me if I can save £6k plus a year ( that’s a tidy salary increase 😜)

So …. The question is …. Do you know you can save on your PPL / PRS if your school is taking exams and are you benefiting from this?

I’m in shock , this could have saved us tens of thousands over the years. Now my GB seemed to think it applied to graded exams only but the operative I spoke to at PPL simply asked “do children work towards and take exams in class” no mention of graded exams.

Would love to hear your knowledge on this or are you like me … just finding out!
