Yes! Not only can the self-employed get sickness insurance, but because you wouldn’t be paid statutory sick pay by your client, this type of insurance may be particularly important.
Contractor Sickness Cover is designed specifically for limited company contractors, to protect your income if you become unable to provide your services due to medical disablement. If you’re not a limited company contractor/partnership, consider our Personal Accident Cover as an alternative.
If the income you receive from your limited company makes up an essential part of your household income, our Contractor Sickness Cover might be for you. Because Contractor Sickness Cover applies to injuries and illnesses sustained even if nothing to do with your services, this policy really is suitable for anyone, not just those working in industries with a higher physical risk.
