What does ?
Film and Media Production Insurance cover
The entertainment industry faces diverse risks that can significantly impact both individual productions and ongoing business operations. We arrange insurance solutions that address the full spectrum of exposures facing film and media production companies.
Professional Risks Cover
Professional Indemnity cover helps protect against claims arising from professional negligence, errors, or omissions in your creative work. Whether you’re dealing with allegations of copyright infringement, failure to deliver contracted services, or breach of professional duty, professional indemnity protection provides essential financial security and legal defence costs cover.
Employers’ Liability Insurance (EL insurance)
Employers’ Liability Insurance cover we arrange provides mandatory protection for businesses with employees, covering claims from staff members who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. Given the physical nature of many production activities and the use of potentially hazardous equipment, this cover represents a critical element of workforce protection.
Equipment and Property Protection
The film and media industry relies heavily on expensive, sophisticated equipment that requires specialist insurance arrangements. We can arrange cover for cameras, lighting rigs, sound equipment, editing suites, and other technical assets essential to your operations. This protection extends beyond simple theft or damage, encompassing cover for equipment breakdown, mysterious disappearance, and loss of use during critical production periods.
Liability and Third-Party Protection
Public Liability Insurance remains essential for any business operating in public spaces or working with members of the public. We arrange cover that helps protect against claims from third parties who might suffer injury or property damage during filming activities. This protection proves particularly important for location shooting, where production activities can create potential hazards for cast, crew, and bystanders.
Product Liability Insurance
Product Liability Insurance offers protection against claims arising from distributed content that might cause harm to viewers or users. This cover we arrange becomes increasingly relevant as media companies expand into interactive content, virtual reality experiences, and other emerging formats that create new liability exposures.

Film and Media Production Insurance FAQs
Film and media production insurance addresses unique risks specific to creative industries that aren’t typically covered by standard commercial policies. We arrange unique cover for equipment that might be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, professional liability exposures related to content creation, and location-based risks that don’t exist in traditional business environments.
The insurance arrangements we put in place also consider the project-based nature of much production work, providing flexible cover that can adapt to varying production schedules and requirements.
The insurance arrangements we recommend depend on your business structure and production frequency. Many production companies benefit from annual policies that provide ongoing protection, while others might require project-specific cover for individual productions. We can arrange flexible solutions that accommodate both approaches, including master policies with the ability to add specific productions as needed. This approach often provides better value and administrative efficiency compared to arranging separate cover for every project.
Equipment insurance we arrange can extend to cover rented, hired, or borrowed equipment used in your productions. This proves essential because standard rental agreements typically make the renter liable for damage or loss during the rental period.
We can arrange cover that protects against these contractual liabilities, ensuring you’re not financially exposed when equipment damage occurs during production activities. The cover we arrange typically includes full replacement value protection and covers various scenarios from accidental damage to mysterious disappearance.
Many productions involve filming in multiple countries or international distribution, creating complex insurance requirements. We can arrange cover that extends beyond the UK to provide protection for international production activities, subject to specific terms and conditions. This might include cover for equipment transportation, international liability exposures, and compliance with local insurance requirements in filming locations. Each international production requires careful consideration of local regulations and cover extensions.
