Is your home office insured

Working from home has an array of advantages from flexible hours to avoiding the daily commute. However, it also presents a number of risks – you have to finance your own equipment and if something goes wrong it is you who is left out of pocket.

That`s why insurance cover for your home office is crucial. Many traditional home insurance policies do not offer the right level of cover for individuals operating a business from home, which could leave them out of pocket should something go wrong. So what should you look for when choosing home insurance if you work from home?

What to look for in a policy

While you may not think that your buildings insurance premium will be affected by working from home, you should still contact your insurer to inform them that you run a business on the property because it may be deemed a greater risk. For example, if you are running a catering company from your home address then your property may be at greater risk of fire damage and your premium may reflect this.

Pay attention to the contents insurance aspect of your policy too. In particular make sure that your company is willing to cover all of your equipment such as computers, fax machines, printers, etc. Most providers will place an upper limit on the amount of office equipment you can have in a home that you can expect to be protected. So get in touch with your provider, be honest about what you do, and be prepared for your premiums to increase. Don`t be tempted to be dishonest because if an insured event occurs and you have lied to an insurer it can invalidate your claim. It`s also important that you don`t under insure in an effort to save money - should you need to make a claim you may be left out of pocket.

Also look to see what risks you are protected against. Most insurers will protect office equipment against theft, for example, but you may need to pay an additional premium for cover against accidental damage.

Are there are any special cover options if you work from home?< href="http://www.office-genie.co.uk/"> office equipment on to an existing home insurance policy. If you simply work at a computer all day then your cover doesn`t necessarily need to be complicated.

However, if your work involves employees, visits from clients and customers or travelling outside the home office environment, then you may need to consider a specialist insurer that can tailor a policy for your needs.

For a standard home insurance policy, shop around for www.gocompare.com/home-insurance home insurance using a comparison website which can compare dozens of policies with one search to help you find the level of cover at the right price.

25 Ways to save Money on your Office Supplies

Here at the UK Office Supplies blog we have come up with what we think are the top 25 ideas for saving money on your office supplies, read below to see if you recognise any of the things you do.

1. Only order supplies once a week, this will reduce the amount of paper work you have to handle

2. Only order supplies once a month, as this will reduce the amount of paper work you have to deal with

3. Buy in bulk, if you know that you use a lot of a particular item buy it in bulk

4. Make sure your supplier is invoicing you once a month with a consolidated invoice, this will reduce the amount of paper work you need to handle each month.

5. Change the settings on your printer so that it defaults to black, or draft print rather than colour

6. Use the back of waste paper for notes

7. Talk to you supplier, it sound obvious but make your supplier aware that your looking to save money, the will probably be delighted to help you

8. Buy expensive pens, where do all the biros go nobody knows, because of there low value people don’t care if they lose them, where as if they have an expensive pen they will hold on to it

9. Don’t print documents unless its essential

10. Printed double sided, when printing multipart documents remember to use the duplex feature on your printer (if it has one) this might only save one sheet of paper but these savings will add up

11. Buy on line, its quicker and easier

12. Change to compatible toners, rather than buying expensive ‘original cartridges buy compatible or remanufactured, they are usually 15-20% cheaper than originals

13. Use your shredded paper for pet bedding it saves you having to dispose of it and will save the office pet owner some money

14 . Oil your shredder, it will make it last longer

15. If you print lots of labels get a label printer, this will save you load of time and all those wasted sheets of label when you only want one label

16. Don’t buy brand names, use Q Connect

17 . Ask for samples, there free and easy to get hold of

18. Use less suppliers, its amazing how many different supplier companies use, by reducing the number of supplier you will reduce the amount of invoices you have to process each month

19. Have a stationery amnesty, people desk draws are usually overflowing with unused office supplies

20. Put a lock on the stationery cupboard

21. Switch your printer off

22. Get a pen on a chain, the banks use them so people do not walk off with there pens and it works if you have an area like a good in area of reception where pens regularly walk from get one on a chain

23. Use Outlook rather than a diary,

24. Buy smaller packs of things, so much of office supplies end up in waste if you buy smaller packs you probably wont waste as much

25. Reuse envelopes

Office Genie Helps raise £63,150 for Institute of Cancer Research

Office Supplies specialist Office Genie helped with the aid of 120 others raise over £63,150 for the Institute of Cancer Research. This years event saw 120 volunteers with the youngest a mere 11months old embark on the Lake District to encounter the challenge labelled 21 years = 21 peaks.

In its second year of fund raising on behalf of the Institute of Cancer Research, the office supplies business community (consisting of manufacturers, resellers and devoted employees) got together to take on this years challenge. On a cold and wet November day 120 people split into 21 groups to walk the likes of "Helvelyn", "Scarfell Pike" and the surrounding areas. The starting point was the Swan Hotel in Grasmere and finishing back at the hotel late in the afternoon.

I am please to say that everyone completed their walks with no injuries and it was back to the hotel that evening that a raffle and auction took place to help raise further funds.

With many people attending supplying auction gifts such as shredders, binding machines, hp printers (you can tell they were stationers) but also some great prizes like a signed Argentina shirt by Maradonna, a signed England rugby shirt, a rock climbing experience.

It was a fantastic day which went long into the night. All i can say is that it was a fantastic acheivement by all to beat last years total of "£62,000" even under the current credit crunch climate. Here's looking forward to next year.
