Webinar: Insurance Needs of Home Based Business Owners

The types of business your clients operate from their homes are as diverse as the reasons the owners have for starting them.

What are the insurance implications of operating a business from the home? Is a home based business endorsement suitable for all in-home businesses? Are there times when a full commercial policy will be required? When is professional liability required?
