Self-employed? What’s protecting you when workplace benefits no longer do?

Moving into self-employment can be an exciting opportunity. Whether you've become a consultant, freelancer or business owner, you're likely to enjoy greater independence and control over your career.

However, while many people focus on replacing their income, it's easy to overlook some of the valuable benefits that were provided by an employer.

Employer pension contributions, death-in-service benefits, sick pay and workplace protection often disappear when you leave employment. Unless you take action, these gaps can remain unnoticed for years.

Join Chase de Vere, IPSE's independent financial advice partner, for a practical webinar exploring some of the key financial considerations for people who have recently transitioned from employment to self-employment.

Have you replaced the protection you left behind?

Many employers provide valuable benefits that can help support you and your family if the unexpected happens. We'll discuss:

· Death-in-service benefits that may have ended when you left employment

· The loss of employer-funded income protection and sick pay arrangements

· Whether life cover, income protection, critical illness cover or business protection should form part of your financial planning

Is your pension still on track?

Leaving employment often means losing valuable employer pension contributions.

We'll explore:

· The impact this can have on your retirement planning

· Whether your current contributions are sufficient to meet your long-term goals

· Why self-employed individuals may need a more proactive approach to pension planning
