The Insurance Information Institute provides facts and assistance
free of charge to the media, individuals and organizations. If you're
working at home -- STOP-- and review your insurance coverage. Your
homeowners insurance probably doesn't cover your business. A typical
homeowners policy provides only $2,500 coverage for business equipment,
which is usually not enough to cover all of the business property.
You also need coverage for liability and business interruption.
To insure your business, you have three choices -- endorsements
to the homeowners policy, an in-home business policy or a small
business owners package policy. |
