Self-Employed Disability Insurance: Protecting Your Income

---

Protect Your Most Valuable Asset—Your Income

As a self-employed professional, you wear many hats—and none more important than protecting your ability to earn an income. At Carpenter Collective, we specialize in helping entrepreneurs, freelancers, gig workers, and small business owners secure affordable disability insurance that keeps you financially afloat if injury or illness strikes.

When you’re self-employed, you are the business.

If you can’t work, there’s no employer to cover your income, health benefits, or ongoing business expenses. That’s where the right disability insurance plan steps in:

✅ Replaces a portion of your income during injury or illness
✅ Protects your household and lifestyle while you recover
✅ Customizable to fit your budget, industry, and risk level

You may benefit from self-employed disability insurance if you’re:

• A freelancer or contractor (1099)
   
• A business owner or sole proprietor
   
• A real estate agent, rideshare driver, stylist, or tradesperson
   
• Working without access to employer-sponsored benefits
   

Even if you have emergency savings, disability insurance extends your financial runway while you recover.

🔹 Tailored Plans – We work with top-rated insurance providers to find the right policy for your budget and profession
🔹 Tax Guidance – Understand how your premium may be tax-deductible as a business expense
🔹 Fast, Simple Enrollment – Apply online or over the phone with help from a licensed agent
🔹 No-Hassle Claims Support – If you need it, we’ll walk you through every step of the claims process

“I never thought I’d need disability insurance until a back injury kept me out of work for two months. Carpenter Collective had me covered and made the whole process stress-free.”
