Quick answer

The product page should answer the buyer's actual question: will this help me get approved, start work, and avoid an ugly surprise?

General liability is the baseline policy clients, landlords, and vendors ask for before they let you start. Riza helps you get the coverage, limits, and certificate language right without turning the process into homework.

Do I need this?

If this sounds like your business, yes.

If two or more of these sound familiar, do not wait until a contract, claim, or renewal forces the conversation.

What it helps cover

Coverage you can actually recognize.

No alphabet soup first. Start with the moments where money leaves the business, then map those moments back to policy language.

Customer, visitor, or third-party injuries connected to your business.

Damage your business causes to someone else's property.

Legal defense costs for covered liability claims.

Certain personal and advertising injury claims.

Not everything

Important coverage. Clear boundaries.

FAQ

Fast answers before you talk to anyone.

Is general liability required by law?+

Usually no, but many landlords, clients, lenders, and vendors require it by contract. In practice, it is often required to win work, rent space, or get approved as a vendor.

How much general liability coverage do I need?+

Many contracts ask for $1M per occurrence and $2M aggregate, but the right limit depends on your industry, revenue, job size, contracts, and risk tolerance.

Is general liability the same as professional liability?+

No. General liability usually focuses on bodily injury, property damage, and certain advertising injury claims. Professional liability focuses on financial harm from professional mistakes, advice, or services.

Can Riza help with certificates?+

Yes. Riza helps issue certificates, review certificate requirements, and track common endorsement requests like additional insured or waiver of subrogation.
