What to prepare before your assessor visit

This is used for insurance eligibility matching, not just categorisation, so accuracy matters more than it might appear. The most common mistake is selecting 'limited company' when the entity is actually a limited liability partnership — they are different legal structures. If you are part of a group, answer for the specific legal entity being certified, not the parent.
