What is music studio insurance?

Your studio not only houses your equipment, from valuable recording equipment and mixers to software and IT, but performers and other members of the public also visit it. Recording studio insurance protects your business by covering the cost of equipment damage and loss and by dealing with the financial implications of third-party claims.


Who could benefit from recording studio insurance?

Unless you could afford to personally shoulder an expensive personal injury claim or the total loss of all your recording and mixing gear, recording studio insurance is the best way to keep your business safe.

This specialist policy is suited to TV and music recording studios, videographers, and voice artists. Whether you have a home studio or premises with multiple studios, you could benefit from this insurance.


When might I need music studio insurance?

With your headphones on and safely tucked away in your studio, you may not feel your recording business faces many risks, but numerous issues could arise.

Because you bring clients and performance artists into your studio, you are liable for any accidents or property damage that occurs while they’re there. If a singer trips on a cable and injures themselves or a piece of equipment falls and smashes your client's tablet – you are responsible for the associated costs.

Your recording equipment is the lifeblood of your business. If an artist comes into your booth to hear a playback and spills their coffee on your mixing deck or a burst pipe damages all your gear, you’ll be in a race against time to get replacements. Studio equipment insurance smooths the path, getting you back on your feet without leaving you out of pocket.

With so much of your work held online, hacking can be a real concern. Protect yourself from the financial implications of stolen tracks or leaked data with music studio insurance.

Types of cover

Safeguard your finances and your reputation with cover such as:

  • Public liability – to deal with claims for injury and property damage made by members of the public.
  • Employer’s liability – which handles claims made by members of staff for illness or injury attributable to their employment with you.
  • Business contents – to protect all your recording equipment, computers, laptops, devices, and instruments from damage, loss, and theft. You could also cover your furniture, fixtures, and fittings.
  • Equipment breakdown—this handles unexpected malfunctions. You can also ask to include depreciation after repair, which compensates you if your gear loses value after a repair.
  • Cyber and data – to deal with claims and costs pertaining to cyber-attacks and hacking.
  • Business interruption – to compensate for lost revenue if you have to close your studio for unforeseen circumstances.

It’s also helpful to know what isn’t covered by recording studio insurance, such as general wear and tear of equipment, pest damage, and the theft of equipment from unlocked vehicles or where there’s no sign of forcible entry.
