Most self-employed people face
these hidden risks...

Gaps in protection

Most self-employed people only discover they’re unprotected when something goes wrong. Whether it’s illness, time off work, or family support, small gaps can create big financial stress.

Unclear retirement path

Without an employer setting anything up, pensions easily fall to the bottom of the list. Old pots get ignored, charges add up, and most people have no idea if they’re on track.

Mortgage uncertainty

Getting a mortgage as self-employed isn’t straightforward. Lenders want proof, accounts, and stability — and many people don’t realise what’s possible.
