Navigating Self Employment
By the end of 2023, around 4.3 million people in the UK were self employed making up about 13% of the workforce. In today’s fast paced economy, many are choosing self-employment for the freedom and flexibility it offers, along with the potential for higher earnings. At Humboldt, we’ve worked closely with many self employed individuals, and with the right approach, self-employment can lead to financial success and personal fulfilment. But it’s not without challenges.
One of the biggest perks of self-employment is the autonomy you’re your own boss, setting your hours and choosing your projects. This freedom also means you control your income, with opportunities to grow it by taking on more clients, raising your rates, or expanding into new areas. However, this independence also brings the responsibility of managing your business. It takes discipline and a clear understanding of your financial goals to ensure you’re not only meeting your current needs but also planning for the future.
Here’s how we can help:
- Personalised Planning: We create financial plans that adjust to your unique needs, covering everything from budgeting to investment strategies.
- Cash Flow Management: We help you manage irregular income, ensuring financial stability even during slower periods.
- Retirement Planning: We guide you in setting up a retirement plan that suits your needs, so you’re saving adequately for the future.

Self-employment offers incredible opportunities, but it also requires careful financial management. With the right strategies and support, you can turn your entrepreneurial dreams into reality and enjoy the freedom and fulfilment that come with being your own boss.
