Does your business have emergency plans and protocols in place, should something unthinkable happen to you?

Studies have shown that freelancers take around ⅓ of the number of sick days in comparison to people in paid employment, many choosing to just “push through” and work even when they are sick. But what happens when an illness is serious, or you’re involved in an accident? And even in the worst case scenario, that you die.

It’s important to think about what will happen to your business (and your clients) if you are unable to work, and to have plans and procedures in place to make any transition or handover as smooth as possible.
