Does my mom need to purchase some form of insurance if she plans to start an alteration and design business?

maddogg asked:


My mom lives in Chicago, Illinois and plans on starting an alteration and fashion design business. I know that insurance is always needed when starting various types of insurances but we are unsure as to whether she needs to select some form of insurance for this type of business, specially since she’s starting it from home. As stated she lives in Chicago, Illinois. I would greatly appreciate any information and/or any tips and advice.

Thanks a million.
