A home-based business may still need separate business insurance.
Standard Home Insurance can restrict or exclude certain business activities, business property or liabilities.
What should a home-based business consider? #
Depending on how the business operates, relevant cover can include:
- Business contents and equipment
- Stock
- Portable tools or equipment
- Public Liability Insurance
- Business Interruption
- Professional Indemnity Insurance
- Cyber Insurance
- Commercial Motor
- Management Liability
Important factors include whether:
- Clients or customers visit the property
- Employees work from the property
- Stock or equipment is stored there
- You also work at client sites
- Business vehicles are kept there
- You manufacture or sell products from home
You should also tell your Home insurer about the business and check whether it affects the Home Insurance.
