I get asked this question all the time. What happens if there is a fire and all my stuff is destroyed? Do I need an inventory to prove what I owned to the insurance company? The quick answer is no, it is not a requirement, however you are going to need to come up with the list of everything you lost in order to replace it. So while surfing one of my favorite sites I found a nice resource you can take a look at, http://lifehacker.com/5514470/five-best-home-inventory-tools
Lifehacker.com has put together a list of the most popular ways people inventory their stuff. i personally like the idea of a video because you can just redo it whenever you need to and there is no cost but the time it takes to walk around your house, apartment or condo.
Another thing I would like to mention is that this is not only a good idea for you personally but it may also be a good idea for your business. Take the time to make some sort of inventory and then make sure you keep it off premises, it is just like making a backup of your hard drive.
Hope this helps!
