Is General Liability Insurance right for you?

  • Businesses signing a lease

    Landlords usually require general liability and ask to be added as an additional insured before you get the keys.

  • Contractors and service businesses

    Your work happens on someone else’s property, and customers want proof of coverage before you start.

  • Companies selling to larger customers

    Vendor onboarding asks for a certificate of insurance with set limits before the first invoice clears.

  • Product sellers

    Claims can arrive after a product leaves your hands, so the products and completed-operations aggregate matters as much as the headline limit.

  • Offices and storefronts that welcome visitors

    A visitor tripping in your reception is the claim general liability was built for.

When to get General Liability Insurance

  • 01

    You’re signing a new lease

    The lease sets liability limits and names the landlord as an additional insured. Check the clause before you sign, while there’s still time to adjust the policy or the lease.

  • 02

    A customer’s procurement team wants a certificate

    Their vendor requirements name limits and wording your current policy may not meet. Finding out early keeps the deal from stalling at onboarding.

  • 03

    Your renewal is coming up

    Your revenue, payroll or locations changed since last year. Update the figures insurers price on and compare the market again instead of accepting the renewal as sent.

  • 04

    You opened a new location or company

    Confirm the policy still names every business and premises you operate. A new subsidiary or site isn’t always picked up on its own.

  • 05

    You need your first policy

    You’re opening to customers, starting site work or signing your first contract, and the coverage has to be in place before the work begins.

General Liability Insurance questions

Also known as commercial general liability insurance, CGL insurance, GL insurance, business liability insurance and public liability insurance.

Do I have to leave my broker to use Spot?

No. Spot works alongside brokers and takes no commissions on premiums. Keep your broker and we’ll work with them, or switch if you want a different one.

Does general liability cover my own building or equipment?

No. General liability addresses claims from others for injury or damage to their property. Your own building, tools and stock need property coverage, which a business owner’s policy can package with liability.

Can Spot add a landlord or customer as an additional insured?

Spot reads what the lease or contract asks for and works with your broker to request the endorsement from your insurer. Once it’s on the policy, we get the certificate ready.

What do I need to get general liability quotes?

A description of your operations, locations, off-site work and products, your current policy if you have one, and your sales, payroll or floor area. Your Spot team helps fill in what’s missing.

Will general liability cover a client’s claim that my advice cost them money?

No. A client’s financial loss from your professional services is a professional liability question. If your business needs both, Spot takes them to market together.
