Self-employment has outstripped growth in permanent employment by three to one over the past ten years.

The number of us working from home and the number of us employing workers who work from home is also increasing within Britain. We now have the highest levels of self-employment in Europe.

Home workers

Our first piece of advice to you if you are a home worker, is don’t assume you’ll be covered by your home insurance. Most home policies won’t cover anything related to the business and some insurers will not even cover your home and contents if you have business visitors at home.  There are specific policies tailored to suit homeworkers and we can quote for this if required.
You should also check with your motor insurers to ensure your business use is covered.

This may all sound expensive and daunting, but with the right advice and support, it really doesn’t need to be.  Seeking our advice will give you peace of mind and leave you free to get on with making a profit.
