I'm looking into getting insurance for my at-home bakery. Not quite sure where to start though. What kind of insurance will I need other than liability & how much should I expect to be spending? Thanks everyone! icon_smile.gif

Talk with your home insurance agent first about having a business in your home. Then ask if they also sell business (liability, or vendors') insurance. If not, find out who they recommend.

I got mine through The Hartford. Allstate wouldn't insure my home if I was running a business there, so I switched my homeowners to USAA (didn't realize I was eligible before) and they referred me to The Hartford for the business. I pay about $350 per year.

I pay $500/yr through Hartford. Here It's based on your gross income.
