BRAND DEAL CERTIFICATE COMPLIANCE
Certificate of insurance issuance for brand partners, sponsors, venues, platforms, and other contract counterparties requiring proof of general liability coverage with specific limits and additional insured wording.

QUESTIONS THAT OFTEN COME UP.
What does general liability insurance cover for a creator business?
General liability insurance may cover bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury claims arising from creator business operations — including events, appearances, studio activity, client meetings, and business premises. Coverage depends on the specific policy, carrier, and facts of the claim.
Why do brand deals require general liability insurance?
Brand partners use general liability requirements to ensure the creator they are working with has coverage in place if something goes wrong during a campaign, event, appearance, or production. The certificate of insurance with additional insured wording is how they document that coverage.
What limit of general liability is typically required by brand partners?
Required limits vary by brand, deal size, and type of activity. Common requirements start at one million dollars per occurrence and two million dollars in aggregate, but some brands, venues, and platforms require higher limits depending on the nature of the engagement.
Does a creator need general liability if they only work online?
Online-only activity may still create general liability exposure — especially if the creator business has employees, a studio, in-person meetings, or events. General liability is often required by brand deal contracts regardless of whether in-person activity is regularly involved.
