Additionally, home business solutions offer business pursuits coverage for employees or independent contractors who don’t need property coverage but could benefit from liability coverage.
Homeowners who occasionally rent their homes through a home sharing platform such as Airbnb or Vrbo can opt for home sharing coverage. It offers protection of the landlord’s furnishings, lost rental value and damage to the renter’s belongings.
