Homechoir became a non-profit company limited by guarantee (CLG) in January 2023, and officially started trading in April 2023. The Homechoir YouTube channel and “Homechoir” trademark, hitherto owned by Ben England Music Ltd, are now owned by the Homechoir CLG.

In February 2023, we gathered some data about the performance of the channel over the previous 12 months. Here are presented the channel’s viewership, output, income and expenses, and working hours.
