The named insured is the person or business named on the policy as the primary holder, with the broadest rights and responsibilities under it. Other parties may be added as additional insureds with narrower rights.
How it shows up
Getting the named insured right matters when a business operates through multiple entities, since coverage generally follows the named insured.
