Beatsuite helps companies in need of music avoid the incredibly complex minefield of copyright laws by tapping into its vast library of tracks sourced from professional and bedroom producers.

John Challis – aka Boycie from Only Fools and Horses – could be the first of many famous names to visit the Beatsuite sound lab as the firm taps into a global demand for voice on the web.

“As well as doing music licensing on this site, we will also have a voice library where you will be able to select the voice of your choice, upload the script and then contact us to get the price and timelines back,” says Steve.

“We’ve got the recording studio so people can come in and do voice recording – whether it’s an audio book, business presentation or voice-over for a website.”
