Home Worker Insurance
If you are a homeworker and require insurance for your home buildings and contents, you may well find that your existing insurance company are very reluctant to quote. In many cases, once you report to your insurers that you are working from home, they may wish to cancel your policy.
There are several reasons for this attitude; most home insurance policies exclude all forms of business activity at the home address (some will allow clerical use only) as they are worried that the business activities may bring members of the public in to your property, which can have public liability implications and may increase the risk of having items stolen from the home.
