Insurance Canopy and Marketspread Partner to Streamline Event Insurance for Small Businesses

Insurance Canopy has announced a strategic partnership with Marketspread, one of the largest online platforms for booking and managing vendor and exhibitor-based events in the United States. This collaboration enables Marketspread users across nine industries to access quick, affordable event-based liability insurance through Insurance Canopy's integrated platform without requiring agent interaction.

The integration addresses significant pain points for small business owners who participate in events, festivals, and markets. Instead of navigating the traditionally lengthy insurance procurement process, vendors and exhibitors using Marketspread can now purchase insurance online in just a few clicks. The system allows users to secure a quote within 8-10 minutes and download proof of insurance instantly, providing immediate protection for their business operations.

This partnership offers several critical benefits for the small business community. The program provides the most competitively priced event policies in the market, making insurance accessible to businesses that might otherwise forego coverage due to cost constraints. The coverage is specifically designed for often-overlooked niche vendor categories including artisans, farmers' market vendors, food vendors, entertainers, photographers, and liquor vendors. Insurance options are seamlessly integrated into Marketspread's platform as part of the event registration process, simplifying onboarding for vendors.

Daryle Stafford, CEO of Insurance Canopy, emphasized that the partnership reflects the company's commitment to creating insurance solutions for niche industries traditionally underserved by conventional providers. Stafford noted that the collaboration brings precision and affordability to vendors and exhibitors who form the backbone of local events nationwide. The shared focus on supporting small businesses made Marketspread a natural partner for this initiative.

Daniel Westervelt, Co-Founder at Marketspread, highlighted that insurance has been a frequently overlooked component in event preparation. The partnership with Insurance Canopy addresses this gap by delivering affordable coverage quickly online, helping vendors arrive at events properly prepared and protected. This integration represents another step in Marketspread's mission to simplify operations for both event organizers and participants.

Insurance Canopy offers over 200 unique policy types covering various small business needs, from event vendor coverage to specialized insurance for fitness instructors, beauty professionals, and ecommerce sellers. The company maintains its focus on providing digital access to niche industry policies, empowering entrepreneurs to obtain protection while pursuing their business activities. This partnership with Marketspread demonstrates Insurance Canopy's ongoing investment in tools and relationships that meet small businesses at their point of need.
