Home Business Insurance

Home Business Insurance is an essential coverage when there is a home based business. Most, if not all, home insurance companies require it.

Most Home Owners Insurance plans include "Incidental Business" use for contents and liability. But this is not designed for a business operating from home. Incidental Business coverage is for an individual who has an off premises business location where they primarily work. The Incidental Business wording is added for the business owner who occasionally brings their work home.

Work at home types of small business are becoming very common and as a result insurers have met that need by developing Home based business insurance riders and packages that are very affordable.

The packages and riders attached to a home insurance policy cover a wide variety of businesses. Some businesses also require Professional Liability (Errors & Omission) coverage. The following list are some of the more common home based businesses riders.

A brief sample of common home based business includes:

Finance - Investment Advisors, Mortgage Brokers, Accountants, Insurance Professionals, Book keepers, Realtors

Other Professionals - Architechts, Land Surveyors, Appraisers, Paralegal, Professional Counsellors and Engineers

Sales - cosmetics, gift baskets, educational books, household products, Lingerie, Kitchen Supplies
