Home-based Businesses
What insurance will I need for my home business?
Homeowner's or tenant’s insurance protect you from loss if there's a fire and often cover certain natural disasters too. They also protect you if you're sued for negligently causing an injury to someone on your property.
If you're running a business out of the home your business activities and property won’t necessarily be covered under your homeowner’s or tenant’s coverage. Often the policies exclude business use. You can probably upgrade yours to cover the increased risks caused by the business. You'll pay a little more for a business rider, but the peace of mind will be worth it.
