Insuring Home-Based Businesses
3 CE Hours
February 24th
1 P.M. – 4 P.M.
Did you know there are over 40 million “home offices” and over 11 million home-based businesses? How many of your homeowner’s policy clients might have some sort of home-based business?

We discuss endorsements to increase coverage for a business at home. We define what Incidental farming is and what coverage is available for that risk.
We address the question: when should a person running a business from home consider buying a full-blown commercial policy to cover their risk exposures?
