Self-Employed

    No Sick Pay, No Safety Net, Until Now

    Based on a real case. Every personal detail has been changed.

    The Situation

    A sole trader with variable income assumed income protection wasn't available or affordable.

    What We Did and the Outcome

    We established an insurable income from two years of accounts and arranged own occupation income protection with a three-month deferred period at a premium that worked within their budget.

    “Variable income is not a barrier. The right structure makes cover genuinely accessible.”
