Video makers: don’t skip out on your insurance
We’ve noticed an increasing amount of video offerings being published on the internet. Whether you are producing corporate videos for business promotions or educational purposes, or to broadcast personal events such as weddings, you need to consider your insurance options at the onset.
If producing video’s is a new business venture or an extension of existing professional activities you might not have considered what insurance you could need. It might be the last thing on your mind but remember that the cost of cover is a pittance compared to what you will be forking out should any of your equipment get damaged, or should you get into legal disputes with clients or fall foul of other legal instruments waiting to torture the unsuspecting videographer. It’s not only for your piece of mind; your clients will also want to know you are properly insured before using your services.
People often try and opt-out of specialist insurance, relying on either home or general business insurance, without realising that this won’t actually cover them for a number of business related situations. It’s always best to do that extra bit of research and choose a specialist provider who will be able to guide you through the process step-by-step and get you the best cover for your individual needs.
