Planning tips for this checklist
Define what the business actually does
General liability quotes depend on activities, customers, premises, job sites, products, events, and contracts, so those details should come before price comparison.
Read exclusions next to limits
A high limit does not help if the loss type is excluded. Keep professional services, auto, cyber, product, employment, and subcontractor questions visible.
Track certificate wording
Additional insured, waiver of subrogation, primary wording, and certificate deadlines can decide whether a client or landlord accepts the policy.
