Home Business Endorsement Coverage in California

Protect Your Home-Based Business with Confidence Running a business from home offers convenience, flexibility, and cost savings — but it also comes with unique risks. Most people assume their Homeowner insurance covers their home-based business, but that’s rarely the case. That's where a Home Business Endorsement comes in. At Western Insurance, we help California homeowners protect their personal and business assets with comprehensive solutions tailored for home entrepreneurs. Whether you’re a freelance graphic designer, online retailer, or consultant, our endorsement options are designed to bridge the gap between personal coverage and commercial exposure.

Homeowners Insurance

What Is a Home Business Endorsement?

A Home Business Endorsement is an add-on to your existing homeowners insurance policy. It provides additional coverage for business-related equipment, inventory, and liability — without the need for a full commercial policy. This endorsement is ideal for those operating low-risk businesses from their residences.

Why You Need It

Even a small home business can create big risks. Imagine a client slipping on your front porch during a meeting or your laptop (with critical client data) getting stolen. Without proper coverage, you could face major out-of-pocket costs.

A home business endorsement provides protection for:

  • Business equipment and electronics

  • Inventory stored at home

  • Client and delivery-related liability

  • Off-premises business property

  • Loss of business income due to covered events


Common Businesses That Qualify

Not all home-based businesses require the same level of insurance. Our specialists will help assess your situation, but businesses like the following typically qualify:

  • Freelance writers and designers

  • Online retail sellers

  • Consultants and coaches

  • Crafters and artisans

  • Photographers

  • Tutors and educators

For higher-risk or client-facing businesses, a standalone General Liability insurance policy may also be necessary.
