Key Differences in General Liability Insurance

Construction market access and RiskCube’s certificate-driven appetite

Aon names contractors, project owners, engineers, and developers among its construction practice clients. RiskCube’s GL record ties eligibility to certificate-of-insurance needs. A business whose contracts regularly require certificates should tell RiskCube the exact wording requested, while a complex construction project can ask Aon about placement across project participants. 3 7

Project advice and policyholder support

Aon describes project risk advice focused on transfer and mitigation strategies. RiskCube lists GL services for its GL customers. RiskCube also lists limit information, application details, and claims support in its GL record, while Aon describes project-level advice rather than a standardized direct purchase route. Buyers should ask both what support applies before binding and after an incident; project advice, certificate processing, and policy services are separate functions and do not replace checking the issued policy. 3 7

What to Confirm in General Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Aon whether it will review project contract and certificate requirements during placement. 3 7
  • Ask RiskCube what certificate requests its GL policy can satisfy and what service support is included. 3 7
