As a small home business owner, you may think that your homeowner’s insurance policy will cover business-related events that it doesn’t. Some won’t be covered because your homeowner’s policy covers you living in your home, not running a business out of it. Other claims might just be too big for your homeowner’s insurance. You probably don’t want to think about worst-case-scenarios and the risk to your business and assets in the face of a lawsuit, but the fact is, it could happen. And, when big losses occur, they can be absolutely devastating. That’s why excess liability coverage, also known as umbrella insurance, exists. <\/p>\n
