Do I need insurance if I go into business for myself?

Yes.  Commercial or business insurance, like the personal insurance described thus far in this guide, offers property and liability coverage.

If you are self-employed, in effect you own your own business and are responsible not only for your own equipment and supplies but also for any damage to your clients and their property.

If you are looking at seasonal employment with another young person or an informal group of young people who have started their own business, be sure to check to see if they have the necessary insurance and that you are not personally liable.

Speak with your insurance agent for more details.
