Protect Your Gear With Insurance

What's the best way to insure your music and sound gear? If you consider your gear personal property, your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy should protect it. Ask your insurance carrier to be sure. However, if you do use your equipment for business (and hopefully exploit the tax advantages of this strategy) you must check with your insurance carrier. You may need a rider to your personal policy or even a separate policy altogether. Go visit your insurance agent in person and explain your situation fully and accurately.

Also note: if you have people visiting your business (project studio, for instance), you may also need to consider liability insurance to cover accidents. The same rules applies: if the people are there for business reasons, make sure your policy covers it.
