Home Insurance Forum

How should I insure my in-home office and home-based business? I am a consultant visiting and training large companies but I do my prep work and research at home in a dedicated office with computer, fax, and so forth.

Dear Jim,

You've already taken the most important step in insuring your home-based business: realizing that your homeowners policy provides little protection.

Insure.com has a series of articles about how to protect you and your business. You might want to start with How to shop for home-based business insurance, then move on to Health, life, and disability insurance for home-business owners and Car insurance for a home-based business.
