Request a Certificate of Insurance
What Is A Certificate of Insurance?
A certificate of insurance is a document that your insurance agent will issue that certifies the type of coverage you have, your policy number, effective and expiration dates of the policy, coverage limits, etc. A certificate of insurance should be provided to you once a policy is written.
Why Is It Important?
For commercial policies such as a contractor's general liability policy, the certificate of insurance can quickly provide proof to potential clients that you have sufficient insurance coverage. It is accepted as proof of insurance for all types of other commercial policies as well. A certificate of insurance is able to display information for several policies for the same client. For instance, a business would be able to have its general liability, commercial auto, workers comp, errors and omissions coverage and umbrella coverage all listed on the same certificate of insurance.
