Home Business Tips - Personal Possessions
Anyone who works from home or runs a type of business from home is likely to have a significant number of items that they would classify as their personal possessions. These may be items that are normally considered domestic or purely for domestic use, or maybe part of the business work that they do from home or may well be both. The reason this issue is important is that from an insurance point of view, personal possessions are normally covered under a standard homeowners policy which is likely to exclude any type of work or business that is carried out from under the home.

Home BusIness Tips - Working With Others
The notion of working from home in any capacity or running your own business from home has an implication that it is you alone and no one else.

The issue is perhaps clearer when referred to an individuals own children, but has a very important focus in terms of how an individual relates to any group of people who he has responsibility for.
