Should you take inventory of the items in your home and business?

Taking inventory of the items in your home and business may seem like a daunting, time-consuming task—but it’s very important. Keep reading to learn all about why to take inventory, how to do it most efficiently and how we can help.

Why should you take inventory of your items?

Making a detailed list of everything in your home and office is a great idea in order to protect yourself in an unforeseen situation. An accurate inventory can help make sure you have the right insurance protection and speed up your insurance claim process, which makes filing a claim a lot easier. For example, if there’s a fire, tornado or any other type of damage to your home or business, an inventory will help ensure that you make a claim for all of your belongings. If you don’t have an inventory (an accurate list of what you own), you probably won’t get reimbursed for what you lost.

How do you create an ideal inventory?

Begin your inventory in your home and office by writing a detailed list of all possessions. This list should include names of items, descriptions and photos—and all items should be categorized based on room, activity, person or another way that makes sense to you. For the larger and more expensive items, receipts are helpful too. The more specific, the better!
