I am considering doing some bookkeeping work from home, but only a few hours a week as I already work 5.5 days a week but want some extra cash. I know I looked into this a few years ago but decided against it when I looked into insurance. From memory it was around $2K a year, and was advised it didn't matter whether I earned $5,000 a year or $50,000 a year, the insurance was a set amount so didn't think it was worth the cost at the time.
I still don't think it's worth the cost, because I'm only talking about a few clients to do a few hours a week at home when it suited me. My question is, would I really need insurance for bookkeeping? We live in such a litigious society though, and I don't really want to risk everything for the sake of a few extra dollars. People seem to find ways to sue for everything though.
Does anyone here do bookkeeping from home, or have any other suggestions? I would like to earn a bit extra cash, but I want something flexible so I can still enjoy my life a bit without being tied to too many fixed jobs.
