Insurance Plans for Freelancers
There are currently two insurance plans on the market that are specifically aimed at supporting freelancers to continue to be paid if you are unable to work for an extended period due to illness or injury. While both have a similar intent, you might prefer one to the other, depending on your unique needs and preferences for premium payment.
