Our history
You may have come across us at a festival in the early years and remember us from our J&H days. Maybe you were once a Klap customer, or maybe you only know the name DSV. We understand that it can be a bit complicated with all these mergers and different names.
If you're curious about what kind of company No Risk is, and where we came from, read on.
The start
No Risk was founded in 2008, as a side branch of J&H Verzekeringen, a 'standard' insurance agency in Amsterdam. J&H had many clients working in the creative and music industries, and that's how we got to know the Dutch events industry. We saw that the sector was booming, but that we were still a long way behind in terms of insurance. And that's why we founded No Risk Events at that time.
We got to know the events industry well in the following years, meeting many people and visiting festivals. We developed good, comprehensive event insurance, and started insuring more and more events - not only in the Netherlands, but all over the world.
Launch of No Risk On Set
In 2014, we launched No Risk On Set, and started focusing on film insurance as well. The Netherlands Film Fund informed us at that time that there was a need for a Dutch insurance party for the film industry, and so we decided to focus on that. We were the first party in the Netherlands with which film makers could take out any insurance they might need - and we still are! We also partnered with On Set Finance, a company that provides cash-flow loans to film productions.
Klap No Risk
In 2020, No Risk partnered with insurance broker Klap, the other major provider of event insurance in the Netherlands. Our name became Klap No Risk, and we focused solely on insuring events and film productions.
Moving forward together with DSV
In 2023, we then became part of Yellow Hive. We were merged with the entertainment division of DSV, and our name changed back to No Risk. DSV had specialised in insuring the film and television world for many years, as well as being the provider of instrument insurance for musicians and equipment insurance for photographers.
Together, we are a perfect match. We now have all the knowledge under one roof, offering insurance for the entire event, entertainment and film industry.
We are now truly the one-stop insurance shop for the entire entertainment industry!
