Did you know?
Most home-based business operators think that their business is covered by their personal home insurance policy. It generally isn’t and that can be a costly mistake to make.
Here are a few risks that you should consider covering yourself for, that are not typically included in a personal home insurance policy:
Personal injury and property damage – for people connected to your home business, such as customers and suppliers.
Workers compensation cover – for any employees working from your home.
Loss of any stock or goods – to fire, storm or theft.
Cover for tools of trade, office furniture or computer equipment – unless you have specifically advised your insurer and they have agreed to cover you.
