UK income protection for contractors

Don’t be one of the 93% of contractors lacking adequate protection Recent research from Scottish Widows found that more than 4 million contractors and self-employed people do not have a back-up plan for if they were unable to work. This is made even more worrying because their families are disproportionately reliant on their income, with over two thirds (62%) of self-employed workers' households reliant on one wage earner's income For many contractors, just a few weeks off work represents a significant loss of earnings. Fortunately you can now get cover for your day rate that will pay you even if you are off work for a relatively short period of time to recover from illness. This safety net reduces a lot of the worry you can have over potential lost earnings. It also means that if you do get ill or injured and need to take time off, you can spend the time recovering in the peace of mind that you aren’t losing out on important earnings or eating into your savings. Calculate the earnings that you can cover and get a free quote to protect your day rate. Link to: http://info.broadbench.co.uk/contractoradviceuk-ip
