Apple Music for Business has already signed on many leading enterprises including Harrods, Levi's, PizzaExpress, Everyman Cinema and Apple's own retail stores.

Apple Music for Business enables enterprises to play a curated mix of Apple Music and custom playlists that express their brand and connect with their customers. Powerful tools, including the Apple Music for Business app, make it easy to schedule and manage music, and a flexible technology platform built for enterprise environments provides the reliability, scalability and control businesses need.
