Outfit Your Home With A Business
Jul 22nd, 2008 by Biz Oppie
With many recent disasters getting lots of media attention, people are seeing home destroyed. With people losing all their household items, having a good record of what’s in your home helps you recover funds from your insurance. Let’s look at three businesses that help people with this.
We just don’t have any clue as to all the stuff we have in our homes. If we want to get any claims on items stolen or damaged, we need records. This is why a home inventory company can be successful.
Most people could easily do this themselves. It’s not hard, but tedious. Businesses, offering to help, have a few ways they can do this.
The first type of service that we will look at anyone can do as a home based business. Here you actually find clients who want to get an inventory list of what’s in their home. You will then photograph and categorize the important things in the house.
Then you organize this in a folder, or on a CD, along with necessary forms and paperwork for your client. He then has documentation of everything important for the insurance company, should it ever be needed. This should be stored away from the home in a safe place.
Other people are just selling a software program that helps homeowners do the work themselves. They follow the directions and use the forms to create a complete inventory file. Customers just purchase the software.
A third approach is a web based set up. Everything you need is on the website. You will create and store your inventory right there online. You will be given instructions on what to do all the way.
This seems like a clever solution. You won’t lose your list. Your file is immediately in a safe place.
You can access and update your inventory anytime you want. You will be able to make hard copies if you want. This is just an added security.
For this type of service, you will be charged a monthly fee. This covers using the software, and being able to update your data anytime. This also covers securely storing your information.
People are a little bit lazy when it comes to things like this. When given a good solution though, many people see the need to inventory their homes. This can be a nice home based business to own.
