BMS recommends that RSWs who own, rent or lease property for their practice secure additional insurance. This can include:
- property insurance
- contents insurance (for your computer, printer, furniture or records)
- motor vehicle insurance (if you use your vehicle to visit clients)
- business interruption insurance (if you have to temporarily close your business)
- accounts receivable (if you have outstanding invoices from larger clients)
BMS also recommends additional coverage when you operate directly out of your home. This insurance protects the business portion of the home and ensures that any existing home insurance coverage remains intact once your private practice is up and running.
