Media Production Insurance FAQ

What insurance do media production companies need?
This depends on the nature of the work, but media production companies commonly require public liability insurance, employers’ liability where staff are employed, and cover for production equipment. Additional cover may also be relevant depending on the type of filming, client requirements and the way projects are delivered.
Can production equipment be insured?
Yes, subject to insurer terms, cameras, lighting, sound equipment, editing hardware and other production equipment can often be insured. The exact terms will depend on the values involved, where the equipment is used and how it is stored or transported.
Does location filming affect the insurance required?
Yes. Location filming can increase liability exposure and may affect the insurance required, particularly where filming takes place at client premises, in public spaces or at venues.
Does venue work affect the insurance required?
Yes. Performing at venues, festivals, weddings or public events may increase liability exposure and can affect the type and level of insurance required. Some venues may also request proof of cover before allowing performances to proceed.
Can cover be arranged for content creation businesses?
Yes. Subject to insurer appetite and the nature of the activities, specialist cover can often be arranged for content creation, branded content and media production businesses.
Do insurers need to know if freelancers or subcontractors are used?
Usually yes. Insurers often want to understand who is involved in project delivery and whether freelancers, subcontractors or external crew are used as part of the production process.
