For Brokers
How insurance brokers can access specialist entertainment risk products through Intectus.
Intectus develops and manages specialist risk products for the entertainment industry that mainstream insurance markets do not offer. If your clients need completion bonds, media obligation insurance, or production risk management, we can help you place coverage through an established specialist channel.
Our Products
Specialist Entertainment Risk Products
Completion Bond
A guarantee that a film, TV, or animation production will be completed and delivered, or the investors get their money back. Backed by Munich RE through Lloyd's Syndicate 5306.
Media Obligation Insurance
Protection for cash flow lenders against non-payment from distributors and government incentive bodies after delivery. The only dedicated product of its kind in the market.
Risk Management
Independent due diligence, monitoring, financial forensics, and crisis intervention. Available standalone or as part of a bonded production.
Opportunity
Why These Products Are Valuable for Brokers
Entertainment risk is a specialist niche that most brokers cannot serve because the products do not exist in the mainstream market. Through our specialist placement channel, you can access products your competitors cannot offer.
Underserved Market
The entertainment industry needs these products but very few brokers can source them. Clients with production companies, film funds, or entertainment lending portfolios have limited options.
Strong Capacity Provider
The Completion Bond is 100% reinsured by Munich RE (AA rated) through Lloyd's Syndicate 5306. Clients and their advisors recognise the strength of this backing.
Unique Product
Media Obligation Insurance is the only dedicated product of its kind in the market. No other broker can offer it because no other provider has developed it.

What Intectus Provides During Placement
Intectus supports the placement process with specialist expertise at every stage, so you can serve your entertainment clients with confidence.
Rapid feasibility assessment
Initial indication within 48 to 72 hours so you can give your client a fast answer on whether coverage is likely available.
Clear documentation requirements
A defined list of what is needed from the production, so you and your client know exactly what to prepare.
Specialist underwriting
Intectus handles all production, technology, legal, and financial due diligence. You do not need in-house entertainment risk expertise.
Client-ready materials
Clear product descriptions and coverage summaries that help you explain the products to your clients and their advisors.
Ongoing relationship
Once a policy is placed, Intectus provides active risk management throughout the production lifecycle, giving your client visible, ongoing service.
Differentiation
What Makes These Products Different
Entertainment risk requires specialist expertise that generalist insurers do not have. These products exist because we identified gaps in coverage that conventional insurance cannot fill.
Completion bonds guarantee production delivery
No standard insurance policy offers this. Production insurance covers named perils. The completion bond guarantees the finished product.
Media obligation insurance covers entertainment receivables
Standard trade credit insurance does not serve the entertainment industry's unique payment structures and obligor profiles.
Risk management is built into every product
Hands-on monitoring by specialists with decades of entertainment production experience, not passive underwriting.
Institutional-grade backing
The Completion Bond is 100% reinsured by Munich RE (AA rated) through Lloyd's Syndicate 5306, with no cut-through required.
