Income protection insurance is an invaluable safety net for self-employed individuals, providing them with critical, and often instant , financial support if they are unable to work due to illness or injury.

The Self Employed, are NOT entitled to Statutory Sick Pay, currently paid at £109.40 p/w for up to 28 weeks. The cold reality is that if sick or injured, without income protection, small business owners are left to sink or swim.
A recent report concluded that 17% (almost one in five) of self-employed workers would carry on working despite illness or injury*
4 Common reasons why the self-employed don’t take out income protection insurance
- Simply forget primarily because they are too busy and do not have time to think about it
- A basic need to reduce monthly business expenditure
- Genuinely not aware that income protection cover exists
- Choose to deprioritise it for perceived more important business matters

The same report concluded that ONLY 6% of self-employed individuals take out income protection, compared to nearly 16% of employees*
This is even more concerning considering the self-employed are the section of the British workforce who have the least resources and extremely limited, if any, management support structures. They are gambling not just with their future financial security, but those of their employees and business suppliers!
Running a business is often all consuming, costly, stressful, and unpredictable; with capital and regular operational expenses, as well as surprise expenses that are frighteningly unpredictable. This reflects that traditionally the majority of self-employed people do not want to spend extra on income protection or sickness cover.
But imagine how crippling the stress and how traumatic the personal turmoil would be if, while juggling all your complex tasks and numerous responsibilities, you were struck down by a sudden illness or nasty accident; leaving you strapped for cash, unable to pay your bills and keep your business going, let alone the staff who depend on you for their livelihoods.
Research shows the self-employed are more likely to be forced to work through pain or injury in order to stop the wheels coming off their business. We are all too familiar with people who come into work sick so that they don’t lose earnings; so sadly, this is the reality for a lot of business owners, even more so in the current climate.
The good news is that, genuine dependable financial assistance is readily available to address the unique and complex challenges that the self-employed sector face through Manor Financials’ range of Income Protection policies.
