A Certificate of Insurance is a document issued by an insurance company or broker to provide evidence of insurance coverage to a third party. It summarizes key details of an insurance policy and confirms that the policyholder has purchased and maintains insurance coverage for a specific period of time.
Certificates of insurance are commonly used in business transactions and contractual agreements to demonstrate that the insured party has the necessary insurance coverage to meet certain requirements or obligations. For example, a contractor may provide a certificate of insurance to a client to demonstrate that they have liability insurance coverage before beginning work on a project. Similarly, a tenant may provide a certificate of insurance to a landlord as proof of renters insurance coverage.
Hosting corporate events or leasing properties to tenants serving alcohol brings liquor liability risks. While a Commercial General Liability policy offers some coverage, exclusions exist for businesses involved in alcohol sales. Mitigate risks by hiring trained bartenders and exploring additional coverage options with legal counsel.
