Craft Emergency Relief Fund Published New Resource Book for Artists

CERF+ (Craft Emergency Relief Fund + Artists' Emergency Resources), a national artists’ service organization, has produced a useful new tool for artists. The Business Insurance Guidebook for Artists distills the key points of business property, liability, and disaster insurance into a pocket-sized booklet.

The booklet responds to information gathered by CERF+ in a national survey of nearly 3,000 craft artists that found that:

70% of respondents were not properly insured for business losses including both property and liability and  significant number (25% of all respondents) mistakenly believe that their homeowners insurance provides some coverage for business assets and activities
Aside from cost the greatest barriers to purchasing business insurance are) not understanding the process of getting business insurance, and not knowing where to find an appropriate plan.
