Insurance for Independent Contractors Who Work for Themselves
Independent contractors and self-employed professionals carry risks traditional employees often do not. Asset Defense Insurance helps you review coverage options designed to protect your work, income, family, equipment, and business responsibilities.
When You Work for Yourself, You Are the Safety Net
No built-in disability coverage. No paid leave. No automatic group life insurance. No HR department reminding you what to review.
When you are self-employed, your protection plan needs to account for how you actually earn, work, and live. Asset Defense Insurance helps you review the risks connected to your income, clients, tools, vehicle use, family, and future.
Built for Independent Professionals
Asset Defense Insurance may be a fit if you are a:
• Consultant
• Freelancer
• Real estate professional
• Contractor or tradesperson
• Barber, stylist, or beauty professional
• Transportation professional
• Coach or educator
• Notary or mobile service provider
• Bookkeeper, tax preparer, or administrative professional
• Home-based business owner
• Side business owner preparing to grow
If your income depends on your ability to work, serve clients, and keep your business operating, your coverage deserves a serious review.
Liability
Depending on your work, you may need general liability, professional liability, or another form of business coverage to help protect against certain claims tied to your services, advice, work, or operations.
Coverage Built Around Self-Employment
Commercial Auto or Business Vehicle Use
If you use your vehicle for client visits, deliveries, job sites, transporting equipment, or other business purposes, personal auto coverage may not fully address your exposure.
Every independent professional works differently. Asset Defense Insurance helps you review coverage options based on what you do, how you earn, what you own, who you serve, and where your risks may show up.
Life Insurance
Life insurance can help protect your family from lost income, debts, mortgage obligations, business expenses, and final expenses if something happens to you.
Health Coverage
Health coverage is often a major concern for self-employed people. ADI can help you review available paths when you are ready to compare health coverage options.
Business Property & Equipment
Tools, laptops, cameras, supplies, inventory, and equipment may not be fully protected by personal insurance. ADI can help you review coverage options based on what you own and how it is used.
Long-Term Protection Planning
Self-employment gives you more control, but it also requires more planning. ADI can help you review insurance options that support your long-term protection goals as your income and responsibilities grow.
Income Protection
Your ability to work may be your most valuable asset. Disability income protection may help replace part of your income if a covered illness or injury prevents you from working, depending on policy terms and eligibility.
Gaps That Can Cost Self-Employed Workers
Many independent contractors have some coverage, but not enough of the right protection. Common gaps include:
-
No disability income protection
-
No life insurance outside of an old employer policy
-
Health coverage that no longer fits current needs
-
Business use excluded from personal policies
-
No coverage for tools or business equipment
-
No liability coverage for client-facing work
-
No plan if income stops because of illness or injury
-
No final expense or family protection plan
-
No review after income, services, or business structure changes
A coverage review helps you decide what needs attention now and what can wait.
