- An expiry before your finish date is a reason to ask questions.
- Start the lookup with the license number; use the business name only if the number fails.
- Ask for a certificate of insurance sent straight from the insurer. A registry listing does not prove coverage.
- Compare the registry name with the name on the contract, and read the status line.
