Why Your Home-Business Needs Commercial Insurance

Your NJ Homeowners Insurance Isn’t Enough!

If you run any form of business within your home, don’t kid yourself: your Homeowners Insurance policy probably does not have adequate coverage to protect you from all the liability risks!

NJ Home Based Business Insurance Claims Examples

  • Susan managed a home-based skin-care Amazon business. A home fire damaged the $7,800 worth of stock she stored in her home. Her Homeowners policy did not cover the losses. Her home-business policy covered it.

 

  •  Sharon sold muffins from her home. After purchasing a dozen baked goods, a customer slid and fell, injuring herself. Doctor’s services amounted to big liability which Sharon's home-business insurance policy picked up.

  • Jack was away from his home on a business trip. In the meantime, his laptop computer was stolen from his home-based office. Jack’s Homeowners policy did not cover the theft. His home-based insurance did, however.

 

 

  • At a business event, a participant tripped over Sam’s booth’s sign and hurt himself. Sam was sued for the liability damage. Sam’s home-based business policy covered the payments.

  • Stan’s home-based business was unable to operate for the duration between a fire’s damage and the completed recovery work. Stan’s home-based policy provided the necessary loss of income plus expenses coverage.

  • Paul’s home-based office experienced a power surge that damaged his computer, telephone and facsimile machine. Paul’s home-based business policy replaced the machinery.

My friend is starting a business and he was talking about getting commercial insurance. I didn’t realize how important it was for budding businesses! It makes sense that it would be especially important for those running businesses from home.
