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.smilesarepriceless said: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...?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
