Do you work full-time from home? Perhaps you operate a side business out of your home? If so, be aware that your homeowners insurance policy may not cover several aspects of your home-based business.

Without it, you leave your business exposed to damages to property, data losses, lawsuits, and unforeseen potential damages.
