How a Certificate of Insurance Works

Renting a space or working a job site? Here’s how you go from “I need insurance” to the venue, landlord, or general contractor holding proof of your general liability coverage — often the same day.

Step 1

You Apply

A contractor, vendor, or anyone renting a space answers a few questions about the work or event.

Step 2

Coverage Is Bound

A general liability policy is issued in your business name — often within minutes.

Step 3

COI Is Generated

You provide the certificate holder's full name and address, and a certificate of insurance is created showing your coverage, limits, and dates.

Step 4

Certificate Holder Gets Proof

The COI is delivered to the venue, landlord, or general contractor — naming them as additional insured if required. You're cleared to book the space or start the job.

Special event insurance FAQ

What is special event insurance?

Special event insurance is short-term liability coverage for a specific event — a party, corporate function, festival, or fundraiser. It protects the host if a guest is injured or property is damaged during the event.
