Anyone ever done a mall event, where they requested a Certificate of Insurance listing the mall company as additionally insured

$500,000 for property damage
and $1,000,000 general liability...?
 
If you need a certificate of insurance, you can download one from CC in the downloads area.
 
I did a booth last year and they wanted the event sponsor to be listed on the insurance certificate. I had to contact our insurance provider. I think I emailed the request and they mailed me the certificate. I got it in less then a week because they knew it was a rush.

I don't know how much our insurance is for though.

Hello Chefann, my name is Sheila Gildersleeve. I started my Pampered Chef business this June and I was wondering what the CC stood for. Is it for the Consultant Corner or something else? I am also new to this website, I do have a posting on this site too if you would like to view my other questions.

I've had to do this for numerous events. On CC, under Managing Your Business, you'll find a listing of home office contact numbers. There's a one for Certificate Insurance that you can request just by calling the number listed for Schwartz Brothers I think it is. They can email it back to you as a PDF attachment, usually the same day! They'll let you know what info is needed, such as event name, date and address.

Hope that helps!

I LOVE how PC makes this SO easy for us to do!!

I was very impressed...
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Certificate of Insurance (COI) and why do I need one for a mall event?

A Certificate of Insurance (COI) is a document that provides proof of insurance coverage for your business. Mall events often require vendors to have a COI to ensure that they are protected against potential liabilities, such as accidents or damages that may occur during the event. This protects both the vendor and the mall management.

How do I obtain a Certificate of Insurance for my Pampered Chef event?

You can obtain a COI by contacting your insurance provider and requesting one specifically for your mall event. Be sure to provide them with details about the event, including the date, location, and any specific requirements set by the mall management.

What information should be included in the Certificate of Insurance?

The COI should include your business name, the type of coverage you have, the policy number, the effective dates of coverage, and the name and address of the mall where the event will take place. Additionally, it may need to list the mall as an "additional insured" party.

Is there a cost associated with obtaining a Certificate of Insurance?

Yes, there may be a fee associated with obtaining a COI, depending on your insurance provider. Some providers may charge a nominal fee for issuing the certificate, while others may include it as part of your policy. It's best to check with your provider for specific costs.

What should I do if my insurance provider cannot issue a Certificate of Insurance?

If your current insurance provider cannot issue a COI, you may need to shop around for a different provider that can accommodate your needs. Alternatively, some companies specialize in providing event insurance and may offer a COI specifically for short-term events like mall showcases.
