68%of home-based business owners carry zero commercial rider.
Your homeowner policy was written for a family eating dinner — not a reseller shipping 300 orders a month. One burst pipe, one kitchen-table client injury, one stolen laptop full of client files: your insurer calls it a business loss and walks.

I had $23,000 in polymer clay and resin inventory in my spare bedroom. My homeowner carrier laughed at my claim after the pipe burst. Shield paid out in 11 days.
A client tripped on my front step coming in for a tax appointment. My homeowner policy covered the house, not the business. Shield's liability rider covered the settlement — $85K.
My garage holds $67,000 in HVAC tools and a work van. Shield was the only carrier that understood I'm a contractor first, homeowner second. Quoted in 4 minutes.
