Insurance Information for Home-Based Business Owners
The most frequently asked question is how to get affordable health insurance. In addition to the information below, check with your local Chamber of Commerce, other small business groups, and the Association in your field to find out if they offer a group health insurance policy to its members. In addition, it is important to know the other insurance needs for small business owners such as in-home business insurance, income replacement insurance, and the possible need to have additional automobile insurance if you are using your personal vehicle for business. For more information about these and other insurance needs, visit the Insurance Information Institute at www.iii.org or call the National Insurance Consumer Hotline at 1-800-942-4242.
