Home-Based Business Insurance in Yukon

A personal home policy is not automatically a complete business policy. The insurer needs an accurate description of the operation, business property, visitors, stock, revenue and off-premises work.

Requirement, contract and recommendation are different. Verify the current law, licence, customer contract and policy wording for the actual operation.

Disclose the business use

Tell the insurer what the business does, where work happens, whether customers visit, what stock or equipment is kept and whether employees or subcontractors are involved.

Separate personal and commercial property

Computers, tools, inventory, samples and customer property can exceed personal-policy business-property limits or fall outside intended coverage. Confirm how each category is insured.

Complete business registration separately

Government of Yukon provides separate steps for choosing and declaring a business name. Registering the business does not create property, liability or interruption coverage.
