Your homeowners policy will not cover if a customer gets hurt, if you lose income because of damage to your home, or if your client’s accounts, records or data is stolen. Additional coverage to protect your business is available but you MUST let your homeowners insurance company know so they can help you select an appropriate plan. Do You Have A Home-Based Business?
