Operating a business from your home can be a rewarding and profitable experience. However, each day brings the possibility for a

loss that could leave you, and your business, unprotected. Most homeowner’s policies are not designed to cover a business exposure

in the home. The typical homeowner’s policy provides minimal coverage for business property on and off premises and no liability

coverage relating to business activities. Clients with home based businesses face many property and liability loss exposures and

without proper coverage may have several coverage gaps by failing to purchase the Home Based Business Product policy. 

  1. You operate a small e-bay business and have an inventory

    of $7,500. A fire in your home destroys or damages your

    inventory. The Home Based Business policy will provide

    coverage up to your Business Personal Property limit.
  2. A customer visiting your home for business slips and falls.

    Since the customer was at your home for business purposes

    the Home Based Business policy will provide the needed

    liability coverage excluded under your homeowners policy.
  3. Your laptop is stolen while you are visiting a customer.

    The Home Based Business policy provides up to $5,000 to

    replace your laptop while away from the residence premises.
  4. You are working a trade show and someone trips and falls

    over your display, the Home Based Business policy will

    provide the liability protection you need. Your homeowner’s

    policy provides no coverage since this was a business event.
  5. Your Home Based Limited Liability Corporation suffers

    a power surge damaging your computer, telephone, and

    fax machine, but your homeowner’s policy provides no

    coverage since the property is owned by the LLC and not the

    homeowner. Your Home Based Business policy will replace

    the damaged equipment.
  6. A fire at your home makes it uninhabitable and your home

    based business must be shut down. Your Home Based

    Business policy provides the needed lost income and

    additional expense cov
  7. A power surge caused electrical damage to your home

    based bakery refrigeration system. The system failed and

    you sustained food spoilage, repairs to the refrigerator and

    one day lost income. Your Home Based Business policy

    provides the equipment breakdown and business income

    coverage you need.
