Insurance Needs of Home Based Business Owners The current economic climate has created the potential for an increase in home-based businesses. According to Ted Mallett, Vice President of Research and Chief Economist at the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, “Home-based businesses tend to be a little more insulated from the recession than others, which explains why you tend to find a lot of home-based businesses and start-ups during recessions. It tends to be the harbour in the storm."  The classes of business are as varied as the reasons the owners have for starting a Home Based Business. The insurance needs of home based businesses vary widely also. Some require only minor amendments to the personal lines residential policy; for others, full-scale commercial lines policies are required.
