Despite the common perception that insurance is a dull topic, I could not be more excited to share this conversation which Leah Check of Villa Nova Insurance brought a fresh and engaging perspective to.

We start with the switch from Pen-Ex to Villanova to fully serve staging business owners, what locations they cover, what general liability policy you should have, details of your inventory coverage that you should never miss, to insights on having workers' compensation insurance.

For stagers who do not want to put themselves at risk of disclosing to every client what their insurance covers, Leah also has recommendations on how to handle all aspects of stager-client insurance relations.

We closed with Leah's words on what she wished people knew in terms of Insurance - an ultimate guide for a stager who cares about her business

This is an eye opening practical conversation that I want you to learn from so you can cover your business assets the right way. 

Enjoy!

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:

• Key things you should be looking for inside of your insurance coverage
• Situations and scenarios that you may want to protect against
• How often and what you should discuss with your insurance agent.
• What system you should put in place for your inventory claims.
