(Evidence: Company-reported; scope: GL page 'GL is available as a standalone policy or included in a Business Owners Policy' and 'monthly, or annual basis' statements.) ## Issuing Insurer - **Not publicly disclosed.** The reviewed GL page does not name the issuing insurer for the standalone general liability policy.

(Scope: Page as read on 2026-09-23.) ## Who It’s For - Coterie says GL is especially relevant for small businesses that interact face-to-face with customers, work on or at a third party's property, lease or own a premises, advertise, or are required by industry regulators to carry coverage, without stating an industry exclusion list on this page.

(Evidence: Company-reported; scope: GL page 'especially important for small businesses that' list.) ## Coverage Features - Coterie's GL policy covers four categories: bodily injury, damage to others' property, personal injury (including slander and libel), and false or misleading advertising, paying for the injured party's costs and the insured's legal defense.
