LPA for Freelancers and Self-Employed: Protecting Your Income

You are self-employed. Your income depends on you showing up and doing the work.

But what happens if you cannot show up?

The Self-Employed Vulnerability

Employees have sick pay and colleagues to cover. Self-employed people have nothing.

If you cannot work:

  • No income
  • Clients waiting
  • Invoices unsent
  • Business accounts frozen

What Cannot Happen Without LPA

Your business bank account: Nobody can access it Your invoices: Nobody can send them Your clients: Nobody can communicate on your behalf

The Self-Employed Calculation

Three months unable to work without LPA:

  • Lost income
  • Outstanding invoices uncollected
  • Lost clients
Three months with LPA:
  • Income managed by attorney
  • Invoices collected
  • Clients retained
