COI General Liability Limit Too Low

What this means

The General Liability per occurrence or aggregate limit is below your required minimum.

This can delay vendor approval, project start, tenant move-in, or contractor onboarding.

Why it matters

A Certificate of Insurance is usually reviewed before a vendor starts work. If required information is missing, expired, unclear, or below the required limit, the document may need to be corrected before approval.

What to check

Review:

  • Named Insured
  • Policy dates
  • Coverage row
  • Policy limits
  • Certificate Holder
  • Description of Operations
  • Additional Insured indicators
  • Waiver of Subrogation indicators
  • Authorized representative signature
