Certificate of Insurance (COI): A current COI must be uploaded to your profile before starting any project. This is essential for compliance with our insurance policy and to protect all parties involved. The minimum coverage required is $1,000,000 in General Liability. If you do not have or wish to obtain the necessary insurance, a deduction of 5% will be included from your billable time each week. Please obtain your COI through the following process if you don't have a current COI already:

• Visit Hiscox Insurance.
• Enter your Zip Code to specify your state.
• Select/Type the nature of your work, for example, "Controls Systems Integration/Automation."
• Indicate the structure of your business (Corporation, LLC, etc.). You can select 'Other' if you don't yet have a company started.
• Choose the date for your coverage to start.
• Ensure you select a minimum of $1,000,000 General Liability Coverage.
