Home-Office Insurance
What type of insurance do you need when you work at home?
Your homeowners policy may not cover your business needs
but check with your agent first about additional coverage.
The things to consider include:
Equipment insurance - coverage for your computer, fax
Liability insurance
Malpractice insurance - professional protection against
losses resulting from professional mistakes
Data insurance - protection for computer files.
Disability insurance - prices may be high but it may be
worth your piece of mind.
