A friend of mine once worked with a man who had a great hobby: restoring old furniture. Out in his detached garage he would work for hours each evening, perfecting antique furniture that people brought him to restore. He even made a good bit of money while doing it.
What he didn’t realize, was that his “hobby” was actually an in-home business. Moreover, because his business was conducted in a detached garage, none of that antique furniture would have been covered by his homeowners insurance policy in the event of a loss. He could have been liable for antique furniture worth thousands of dollars.
Could your “hobby” be considered an in-home business? If you make money with your hobby, it might be. Some examples could be having frequent and regular garage sales, selling items frequently on Ebay, in home day-cares or classes, etc.
If your hobby brings in extra income, it could be considered an in-home business. Often, all that is needed for such a venture is an endorsement on your homeowners policy. Don’t take the risk of exposing yourself to a loss that may not be covered with a standard homeowners policy. Give us a call today to make sure that all of your “hobbies” are covered!
