About property and liability exposures
If you operate a home-based business – either part-time or full-time – you might be uninsured for coverage and not realize it. Many home-based business owners mistakenly believe that their homeowner policy will provide coverage for their business operations. It’s true that your homeowner’s policy may provide a limited amount of coverage for business-related personal property in the home. But it may not provide full coverage for the added property and liability exposures that the home business represents.
