If you are operating a business out of your home, it is important to make sure you are properly covered.

 

The standard homeowners policy excludes liability for bodily injury or property damage arising out of the business pursuits of any insured. Coverage for personal property used for business purposes is also limited. The good news is most insurance companies offer a home business coverage* you can add to your homeowners policy.

 

Why is home business insurance important?

  • Protection for your business
  • Protection for yourself
  • Protection for your lifestyle
  • Protection for your customers

 

Common types of home businesses?

  • Daycare
  • Financial planners
  • Graphic designers
  • Craft fair artists
