As a freelancer, it is important to take responsibility for your financial security in both the short and long term. For the long term, pension saving is something to consider from around age 25. We therefore recommend setting aside part of your compensation for your future pension.
WorkNode offers free advice through Pensure and the option to allocate part of your income to pension savings. We work with some of the market's leading advisers and the established insurance company SPP. When logged in, you choose the amount to set aside under your profile.
