Take1 logo slug.jpgTake1 Insurance, a Managing General Agent (MGA) and a division of U.S. Risk, is a comprehensive and cost-effective all-lines insurance program for the live and non-live entertainment, sports, and events industry. Product lines under Take1 are written with top-tier property and casualty insurance companies with years of experience providing insurance solutions to address the unique and often outside-the-box risks found in all segments of the entertainment industry.

With Take1 Insurance, you’ll provide the protection your clients require on the first take – covering everything from a violent storm that can upend a performance or game; to transportation delays, fire, theft, and vandalism that can turn a production into a nightmare; to an equipment breakdown or theft that can halt a production shoot or delay a show; to a stage collapse or other crisis liability risk that can result in significant third-party injuries; and more.

Take1 is also a proud member and corporate and volunteer sponsor of the Event Safety Alliance (ESA), dedicated to promoting safety first throughout all phases of event production and execution through training and planning resources.
