When operating a limited company it is vital to consider whether your company and the individuals operating through the company need to take out any insurance. The need to take out insurance may be due to a legal obligation, a contractual requirement or indeed simply due a personal need.
Permanent Health Insurance
A freelancer's income is totally reliant on his ability to work and one of the disadvantages of becoming a freelancer is that you lack the employer safety net of 'sick pay'. However, this benefit can be replaced privately through an insurance policy known as Permanent Health Insurance (PHI). Such a policy would mean that you or your company receive income even when you are sick and unable to work.
