The life of the self-employed
The life of the self-employed:
There is plenty of benefits to becoming self-employed.
You have the freedom to run your business and diary how you want to, you can decide which price point you operate at and there are various tax benefits available. We are self-employed, and we love it!
However, there are a number of other points you need to consider:
The onus falls very much on you to ensure that your personal financial situation does not inadvertently suffer as a result of being self-employed.
Have a think about the things you don't get being self-employed: Sick Pay, Workplace Pension scheme, Death in Service lump sum.
Have you taken steps to replace these?
If you are seeking help or guidance in relation to this, we're here for you.
It's better to be safe than sorry; always take advice from a professional.
It's crucial that you do.
We understand, it can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be.
