If that\u2019s a \u2018yes\u2019, have you thought about how you\u2019d manage if events conspired to put it out of action?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say light-fingered thieves break into your home and make off with your office equipment\u2026laptop, PC, computer monitors, the whole lot. You can\u2019t work without the tools of your trade. Can you afford to replace it all in one go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if a flood seeps into your house, causing water damage? Or a fire breaks out and scorches the walls. Can you afford the clean-up, decontamination, repairs, maybe even a full rebuild? Replace any ruined furniture and stock? Rent out temporary premises so you can keep trading?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of hypotheticals here\u2026not very nice ones. But before filing away such disaster scenarios under \u2018probably won\u2019t ever happen\u2019, it\u2019s worth remembering that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/office-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">office insurance<\/a> is the simplest way to protect your home office and its contents from a total wipe-out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The alternative would be to fork out huge amounts of money to mop up the mess and keep going. Putting pressure on your finances, with no guarantee of recovery further down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe the question should be, then, can you afford <em>not<\/em> to insure your home office?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(We thought not.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home office insurance vs home insurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might wonder whether your existing home insurance already covers your home office contents. Surely that\u2019d be much cheaper than taking out another policy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a fair question and something you\u2019d have to check with your insurer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most home insurance policies are designed to protect the building you live in from natural disasters like fires or floods, or unforeseen events like a burst pipe or burglary. But while it pays out to fix the damage, it probably won\u2019t cover lost, damaged, or stolen business equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, your office contents <em>might<\/em> be covered if your home insurance policy includes contents cover for \u2018clerical work\u2019. This covers equipment used for basic office tasks, like working on a computer. You should check your policy\u2019s limits though to see what\u2019s included and whether the amount\u2019s enough to replace <em>all <\/em>your equipment (electronics, furniture, stationery, pot plants, carpets, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can raise the value limit on your home contents insurance policy if it falls short of the mark. But if you have a large amount of specialist equipment, or if you make, sell or store goods at home and want those covered too, then you\u2019re probably better off with a home office insurance policy that\u2019s designed for home-based businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At any rate, you should let your home insurer know if you\u2019re self-employed or running a business from home, as it could affect the price of your premium. Failure to notify them until you\u2019re in a situation where you have to claim could invalidate your insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home office insurance 101<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/office-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">office insurance<\/a> and what does it cover?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it\u2019s usually made up of three types of insurance: <strong>commercial property<\/strong>, <strong>business contents<\/strong>, and <strong>portable equipment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not a case of \u2018all for one and one for all\u2019, though. You can pick and choose depending on what you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/commercial-property-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Commercial property insurance<\/a> pays to repair or rebuild your home office so long as it\u2019s adequately secured and separate from the building you live in (like a garden office or studio). Garages and garden sheds that have been converted into home offices don\u2019t count. They\u2019re still part of your home and so need to be covered by your home insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/business-contents-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Business contents insurance<\/a> covers your business kit, plus fixtures and fittings, if anything happens to it, like if it\u2019s stolen, damaged, or lost. It pays for all the necessary repairs and replacements so you can get back to business asap. And it should cover everything in your home office \u2013 from your furniture and electronics to your carpets and lights, plus any specialist kit. Hired and borrowed equipment is covered too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/portable-equipment-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">portable equipment insurance<\/a> pays to repair or replace anything you carry about with you, like laptops, cameras, and phones. You may need it if your kit\u2019s nicked from your car, you drop your phone en route to a meeting, or you leave your laptop behind on the bus. And if you travel abroad on business trips, you can add EU and worldwide cover too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Out-of-office risks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your home office risks go beyond the building you work in and its contents. Every business is built around the people it delivers its services to, so it\u2019s worth keeping them in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have visitors come to your office for meetings or consultations, then you should have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/public-liability-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">public liability insurance<\/a>. It covers claims you\u2019ve injured someone or damaged their property if there\u2019s an accident and it\u2019s your fault. That\u2019s your compensation and legal fees covered if the injured party takes you to court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And let\u2019s not forget the clients you don\u2019t see. Just because they\u2019re out of sight, doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re out of mind. If you fail to hit their targets or you miss their deadlines, and it costs them, they could sue you too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can bank on peoples\u2019 goodwill and hope they don\u2019t hold you to account (not a good idea). Or you can cover yourself with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/professional-indemnity-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">professional indemnity insurance<\/a> so you can compensate them if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, home Wi-Fi networks are vulnerable to cybercriminals. Being your own boss means you\u2019re responsible for your own IT security, and not everyone\u2019s up to the task. Hijacked, lost, and corrupted data takes time to recover, draining your resources. In the meantime, your clients can sue you for losing their personal data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, it\u2019s well worth keeping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/cyber-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cyber insurance<\/a> in mind. It pays for the expertise you&#8217;d need to help restore your systems, as well as legal assistance to help with data breaches and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/blog\/does-cyber-insurance-cover-gdpr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">regulatory investigations under UK GDPR<\/a>. You&#8217;ll also get access to PR experts who&#8217;ll help you manage your response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your business wouldn&#8217;t be able to trade due to a cyber-attack, you&#8217;ll also want to add on business interruption cover. Worried about financial cybercrime or a team member falling for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/blog\/a-guide-to-social-engineering-insurance\">social engineering<\/a> tactic? There&#8217;s optional cover for that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Image used under license from Shutterstock.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is your home office at the heart of what you do?
