The Montana Commissioner of Securities and Insurance says...

While homeowner's insurance is not designed to cover most business uses of your home, some policies might cover some business uses, at least partially. For example, if you use your home computer or laptop for business, it's often covered. However, you should check your policy limits to make sure. Your laptop might be covered even if is lost, damaged, or stolen while you are away from your home.
