Get your income protected

Take our 5 minute assessment. We work out a plan for you.

The way we see it

Income protection is the policy that sensible, logical, smart, ahead-of-the-game, on-top-of-things freelancers take out, so they don’t have to resort to undesirable backup plans if they get too sick to work – like cancelling life events, losing the money they worked hard to save, or moving back home with their parents.

“Income protection is the one protection policy every working adult in the UK should consider”

Income protection basics

What is it?

Do freelancers need it?

Does it pay out?

An insurance policy that pays out monthly if you can’t work for any medical reason, so you can always cover the essentials. Like throwing a protective shield around your life and future.

Being freelance means not having any sick pay, so you might feel the strain more quickly if you can’t work. Income protection is peace of mind that you’ll still have an income.

Around 90% of income protection claims are paid out. Policies cover you for any medical reason, so your claim should be valid if you've been signed off work by a doctor.

You’re probably thinking…

If you freelance, you could think of it like that – yes. Not being a PAYE employee means not having sick pay, but income protection could be your backup instead. It pays out if you're signed off work so you still have an income while you're getting better. 

You can choose how quickly income protection would start paying out when you take out a policy. Being able to support yourself for a while is ideal because: the longer you can wait, the cheaper your policy will be.
