I have a small machining business (sole proprietorship) that I actually run out of my home - all documented with the state and city. My shop spaces are well defined - in other words I don't share my shop space with my car. I recently bought a new small business insurance policy that covers liability, losses, property damage - it's pretty complete. I have no employees. Anyway, the underwriter wants to send a service company representative to do an "inspection" and the policy says they can do that but that's all it says. I have called my agent to get some information about what this inspection is all about, what the inspector wants to see, and what the rule book is, checklist, etc. No answer so far outside of hand-waving, but good info might be forthcoming. In the meantime, regardless of the answer I might get, I was wondering if anyone has had this experience and what was the drill, outcome, problems, whatever.
I don't mind submitting to the inspection but I want a heads up as to what it consists of. For example, if a building inspector comes I know I have to be compliant with public building codes.
Has anyone done this from a small shop perspective?
Cheers,
Rich
