What a great idea! I've been looking into home based businesses and this one appealed to me. I reviewed the KC Home Inventory website and it looks pretty good.
This is a unique business idea and I certainly can see a demand for services. Time is one thing that is at a premium now and this service could really save in that department.
This sounds like a great business idea. I wouldn't be interested in working at this type of job at all. I would be interested in having someone do the inventory for me when we purchase our new home, though.

A legitimate middle man between you and the insurance company? That sounds like a very good idea. Is it cost effective for the homeowner though? This sounds like a good money making venture.
KC Home Inventory was founded in 1993 to address a need in the marketplace and was the first business of its kind dedicated solely to Home Inventory Services. Every day, homeowner's face the threat of loss on two fronts. First, a personal property loss from fire, burglary or storm. Secondly, a financial loss through inadequate insurance claim settlements resulting from poor planning and a lack of supporting personal property documentation which is required by insurance companies. Few of us, with personal property to protect, have the time or know-how to prepare documentation our insurance companies require. A Home Inventory Business provides customers with detailed home inventory documentation. With the latest digital photography, video and specialized software, comprehensive home inventory reports are providing peace of mind to their customers around the country. Customers will then be prepared to present documentation to their insurance company adjuster ensuring a faster and fairer settlement.
Start-up and operating costs for a Home Inventory Business are very low. Since your services are provided in your customer's home, there's no need for the additional overhead expense for office space making this an ideal home-based business. There is no special licensing or certifications required and equipment to provide services is minimal. All you will need are a digital camera, a video camera and a computer. State of the art Home Inventory Business Software and complete instructions to start up are available.
