With all the homes destroyed in recent years, the need to keep an inventory of your home is obvious. People lose household items they forgot they had. With a good inventory list, you will fair much better with your insurance claim. We see three ways people are offering services in this area.

We just don’t have any clue as to all the stuff we have in our homes. If we want to get any claims on items stolen or damaged, we need records. This is why a home inventory company can be successful.

This business involves helping people create an inventory list. There are a few ways this can be done. This can be self-help, or a service that you provide. Let’s see what people are offering.

The first way is to just do the inventory for the client. This involves going to the home and documenting all of the important items in the house.

Then you organize this in a folder, or on a CD, along with necessary forms and paperwork for your client. He then has documentation of everything important for the insurance company, should it ever be needed. This should be stored away from the home in a safe place.

Some people are offering a simple software program for clients. The homeowner then follows the directions and uses the forms. They just buy the software.

Still another style of home inventory business is storing data online. These companies have you join their website and put the data into your own personal folder. They then store this for you on their server.

This seems like a clever solution. You won’t lose your list. Your file is immediately in a safe place.

You can access your data anytime you want. Updates are easy because of this. You can make hard copies of your inventory as added security.

I think this is a great option. The website will have a subscription type fee structure. You pay for the use of the programs and storing your data.

This is a growing business as people see the need to know what they own in case something happens. There are good opportunities to offer services to these people. Perhaps you could operate your own home inventory company.
