The COI Moment: What Happens When You Don’t Have It Ready
COI delays can stop a Vegas program before it starts. Here’s how to keep insurance paperwork from becoming a show-day problem.
There’s a moment in Vegas that can ruin your day before it starts: someone asks for proof of insurance and you say, “We’ll send it later.”
Sometimes “later” is too late.
What a clean COI process does
- Prevents check-in delays.
- Reduces back-and-forth with compliance.
- Keeps the day moving when timing windows are tight.
How to keep it frictionless
- Keep COI documents ready to send—ready, not “I can get it.”
- Make sure names match requirements. Small errors cause big delays.
- Have a process for endorsements (additional insured requests).
- Store it in the same place every time. If you’re hunting, you’re losing time.
CE note
We are COI-ready and insured; bonding available as required. We treat documentation as part of execution, not an afterthought.
Field Notes rule
If access depends on paperwork, paperwork is part of the plan.
Start with the coverage that prevents the scramble.
If you're flying in within 24–48 hours of install, juggling multiple vendors, or running hard windows—book The Ready (Arrival Control).
Boring execution is the goal. Boring is a compliment.
