Do You Need Business Insurance if You Work From Home?

Working from home is more common than ever. But if you run a business from your house, don’t assume your homeowners policy has you covered.

What Homeowners Insurance Covers (and Doesn’t)

  • Covers your home and personal belongings.

  • May cover a small amount of business equipment (usually up to $2,500).

  • Does not cover business liability, client injuries, or lost income.

Risks for Home-Based Businesses

  • A client trips on your porch while visiting.

  • Your laptop with client data is stolen.

  • A fire damages your inventory stored in your garage.

Business Insurance Solutions

  • General Liability Insurance – Protects you if someone is injured on your property.

  • Business Property Insurance – Covers equipment and inventory.

  • Professional Liability Insurance – Protects against errors in your work.

  • Home-Based Business Endorsements – Affordable add-ons to extend coverage.
