About Us

IMPEL Collective Management Limited (‘IMPEL’) licenses and administers the digital rights of its publisher members’ Anglo-American repertoire for online activities on a multi-territory basis.

A collection of independent music publishers who have joined forces to increase their negotiating power in the digital market place, IMPEL is the only online licensing organisation that is owned by independent music publishers, operating for independent music publishers.

IMPEL’s collective rights management gives its members the ability to combine their repertoire and offer it on a multi-territory basis to major digital music service providers through a single rights manager.

The power of this collective force means IMPEL’s members are able to act from a position of strength in the digital marketplace, increasing income and the speed at which it is distributed, as well as reducing sub-publishing costs.
