Emergency funds are a must for any home based business in the event there are unexpected expenses.  You should always be prepared to cover expenses that are surprises and your business.  Once you establish your emergency fund, do not dip into this fund unless is it necessary to do so.  If you do have to take money out of this account, make sure to replace the funds as soon as possible, since you never know when these funds will be needed.
