Is Your Business Hiding Inside Your Personal Insurance?
Many small businesses start from home, at the dining room table, in a spare room, from the garage, or with a personal vehicle being used for business errands.
As the business grows, the insurance risk can change.
Business stock, tools, laptops, equipment, client items, deliveries, or regular business use of a vehicle may not always be treated the same as normal personal use.
A home contents policy may also need to be reviewed if stock is stored at home, clients visit the premises, or part of the home is used for income-generating activities.
This does not mean every small business owner needs a complicated commercial policy. In some cases, a combined personal and business insurance solution may be worth considering. In other cases, separate personal and commercial policies may still be more suitable.
The important part is to review the risk properly and not assume that personal insurance automatically covers business activities.
At Inscorp Insurance Brokers, we help small business owners understand where personal and business risks may overlap.
