Do I need business insurance for a home-based business?

Business insurance for a home-based business is similar to business insurance for shops, offices and business situations.  Business equipment that would be excluded under a home insurance policy can be insured on a home-based business policy.  Common items included on such policies would be stock for online sales and deliveries and contents of a home office.  Public liability cover can also be included which would cover risks such as a member of the public visiting your home for business purposes and injuring themselves.

There are plenty of successful businesses running from home these days, so having the right insurance cover is crucial in safeguarding your business.
