- The Savvy Promise
At Savvy, our mission is to empower you to make informed financial choices. While we maintain stringent editorial standards, this article may include mentions of products offered by our partners. Here’s how we generate income.
It guarantees the constant ebb and flow of your quality of life
Australia is a home of more than 2.1 million small businesses. It can be a mission to make yours stand out. Just because your business is experiencing a few knocks on the foundation doesn’t mean your whole life has. If there is one thing you can be assured of is that your finances will be covered no matter what happens to you. It is by your side in sickness and in health…literally. You can get up to 75% of your gross earnings.
Spend less time worrying and more time making your dream a reality
Bills are a part of life, but nothing makes them appear to be larger than life when you suddenly lose a flow of income. Income protection is there too remove one less worry by ensuring that you and your family are covered. Things such as debts, mortgage bills, car loans, credit card debts, you name it, will be covered.
When it comes to your business plan contracting a serious illness or injury is the last thing on your mind. It is something you probably have in the back of your mind that could possibly happen later in life. Not in the prime of your life. This is a false hope that can cost you dearly. Getting income protection will ensure that it is business as usual should you fall ill or get injured, and are unable to work. It will work for you while you take your time to recover.
Even superheroes have their weaknesses
Things could be going well for you right now. You have your business growing from strength to strength, your finances are flexing hard muscle, and your health appears to be in tip top condition. Nothing can stop your moment, especially if you are still a young buck in the game…right? This could be a misconception. Anything can happen in a blink of an eye if you fly too close to the sun.
Safe work statistics Australia released research on the number of fatalities that have occurred in the work environment between 2003 and 2015. 65% of worker related fatalities involved vehicles, of which 39% were due to a vehicle collision on the public road. It could happen to you. By having income protection, you can still cover your expenses and your family. Having no income protection is a risk that will not benefit you or your business in the long run. Whether you are planning your next big move or are currently running a very stable business income protection is for you.
