Recording studio insurance canada

[prologicmusic]

Ive tried callin Clarion, and music Pro, but they said they only deal with US clients. Does anyone know of a good insurance company in Canada that deals with studio equipment? Thanks

I use the gear insurance available to AFofM members. Good insurance, but not super cheap.

i use these guys
The CG&B Group Inc. - Business Insurance — Media

i should say that i migrated over because i had been using them for video and photo shoots and still do on occasion. i haven't had to file a claim yet so i can't speak to the service but they seem OK.

i'm sure there are much cheaper ways to go but for my needs i need liability insurance and a bunch of things for shoots that you may not need.

worth giving them a call.

Why does it have to be a "recording studio insurance" company? It's just a business and it's just business equipment. You can get insurance from pretty much any business insurance provider. It's no different than getting insurance for a tv studio or any other similar business. Insurance companies don't generally care what the industry is as long as they can do the actuarial calculations and set a viable rate. Everything is insurable, but sometimes it just costs to much to insure.

The thing they don't like about studios is that "unknown" people are in the building all the time. We get the same thing and pay more as a design studio because we allow clients on premises. I guess they think this allows them to case the joint or maybe accidentally set a fire.

Companies that "specialize" in studios are still underwritten by the companies that underwrite every other kind of insurance, and the underwriters get to set the rules and base rates.
