Do your homework for your
home-based business
Across the country,
home-based entrepreneurs
are turning dining rooms into conference rooms and dens into brainstorming
centers. Decreasing corporate staff sizes and increasing technological advances
have encouraged record numbers of people to transform their homes into business
headquarters.
While "homework" has its rewards, it
also has unique needs. According to a recent study commissioned by the
Independent Insurance Agents of America, nearly 60 percent of home-based
business owners dont have the insurance they need. Why? Many home-based
entrepreneurs incorrectly assume that their homeowners policies protect their
businesses.
Most homeowners policies provide limited -- if
any -- coverage for the equipment and liabilities associated with home-based
businesses. If you have joined the ranks of the at-home work force, dont
forget to include insurance in your business plan. Contact us to learn more
about protecting your home-based business.
