For which purpose?

The elevator, the telephone on hold music, common areas, public areas?

Each of those is different and licensing will also likely be different.

To have music in my shop, on the showroom floor.

There are exceptions to when a license is required to play copyrighted music; stores under 2,000 square feet, and restaurants and bars under 3,750 square feet, can play music over a radio, TV, or similar device, but there have to be fewer than six speakers carrying the sound.

I may not actually need to get a commercial license, my shop is 1500 square feet, and I have at max 2 speakers.
