Life insurance for self employed

A Life Insurance policy may be even more important for someone who has recently become self employed, as this type of insurance can provide the loved ones of the policy-holder with a financial pay-out. Additionally, someone who has recently become self-employed is unlikely to be able to rely on the pay-out from Death in Service cover; which is typically provided by an employer.

Guide to life assurance vs. life insurance

Life assurance is also commonly referred to as whole of life cover. Often, there is no set policy term for life assurance (however sometimes the insurer will limit this cover until a certain age). A claim can be made whenever the policyholder dies at any stage in their life, meaning the pay-out is almost guaranteed.
