Founded in South Africa by Barry Filby, the company has been instrumental in ensuring that almost 100 films—from independent features to major international productions—have been delivered on time and on budget. Notably, Entertainment Guarantors has never experienced a bond call in its entire history, underscoring our commitment to excellence and reliability.


We are not just financiers—we are the strategic backbone of film and television production, ensuring that creative visions become completed, successful projects.


Our completion bonds are insurance products provided directly through Marsh, the world’s largest insurance broker, established in 1905. These bonds include a cut-through clause to Lloyd’s of London, the premier provider in the space, founded in 1686. This partnership leverages over 338 years of combined insurance history and a robust balance sheet, ensuring unparalleled security for your production investments.


With an expert-led, hands-on approach, Entertainment Guarantors has developed a reputation for reliability, professionalism, and strategic oversight, making it the preferred completion bond partner for financiers, studios, and production companies worldwide.


How We Work


We work with you to come up with the very best solutions for your challenges!

01

The Completion Bond is a guarantee that a film will be made on time and budget, substantially in accordance with the script and other key elements crucial to the financing.

02

Should the film not be completed and delivered within the contracted time period or exceeds its budget, the Completion Guarantor undertakes to advance the funds needed to complete and deliver the film, or, at their discretion, give the investors their money back.

03

A Bond provides significantly increased protection and increases the probability of banks, financiers and high-net-worth individuals investing in a film. 

Strategic Expansion

In 2011 EG decided to change its focus to the UK and European film market and in 2014 formed a new London-based company - EG Film and TV Risk Mgt Ltd.


Moving headquarters to London.


EG has now bonded and worked for numerous films including:


Sometimes Always Never (2018)


Waiting For Anya (2020)


That Good Night (2017)

The world is important too

  • Environmental Strategy

    Lessening the impact  we have on our planet and its people is hugely important. By doing so, we are confident that we can help you transform your productions and, most importantly, the next generation of filmmakers to come. Sustainability is more than just our environmental footprint. It’s how we conduct ourselves as an ethical, purpose-driven organization. We use our work to drive positive change.

  • Belonging

    Positive change through our actions and initiatives is a driving force of Entertainment Guarantors. We understand that creating a welcoming environment is vital for innovation and growth. No matter the bond or project, it is important to address the needs of your crew and production, ensuring that every voice is heard and valued.

  • Human Trafficking and Slave Labour

    As a pioneer in the industry for change for the people, we are presented with a special opportunity to help crews and talent across the world. Bonding projects across the globe has exposed us to awful working conditions, trafficking and slave labour. This cannot continue within the industry.


    We remain steadfast in ensuring the future of filmmakers is bright and free by only bonding projects that can ensure direct payment to all workers on time, and correct working conditions.
