Essential insurance cover for entrepreneurs

The entrepreneur’s insurance helps protect you and your family in case of an illness, accident or, should the worst happen, your death. Some of the insurance policies for entrepreneurs are mandatory. If you need to hire employees, your obligation to insure is more extensive.

The most important entrepreneur’s insurance is the self-employed persons’ pension insurance (YEL), which is mandatory for almost all entrepreneurs and allows you to secure your income in different life situations. Remember to keep the earned income of your YEL insurance up-to-date, as it is used to calculate your daily allowance should you fall ill, for example.

If your company has employees, the mandatory insurance policies for entrepreneurs include the employee pension insurance (TyEL), the statutory occupational accident and occupational disease insurance, and the employees’ group life insurance. Employers are also required to pay their employees' unemployment insurance premiums.

Our experts are happy to provide you with information about which insurance policies are the most important for entrepreneurs and what entrepreneur’s insurance covers. For more information on mandatory insurance for businesses, see the links below. 

Prepare for work and leisure-time accidents

Prevention is the best way to reduce accidents, but all sorts of things may happen at work and during leisure-time. The self-employed persons’ accident insurance covers all accidents and occupational diseases that occur at work. The insurance covers your medical treatment expenses and provides you with income security, allowing you to focus on your recovery. The self-employed persons’ accident insurance and compensation and benefits paid are based on the Occupational Accidents, Injuries and Diseases Act.

The occupational accidents and occupational diseases insurance covers your employees and is also based on the Occupational Accidents, Injuries and Diseases Act. Employee group life insurance premiums are charged in connection with the occupational accidents and occupational diseases insurance. You can extend both the entrepreneur’s and the employees’ insurances to also cover accidents that happen during leisure-time.

Supplement your insurance cover with other entrepreneur’s insurances

With the help of other entrepreneur’s insurances you can prepare for, for example, diseases or disability. This preparation is particularly important, because falling ill or having an accident always affect the company and its operations. Insurances enable, for example, quick access to treatment, which supports fast recovery and return to work.

Entrepreneur’s health insurance grants you quick access to medical help

With this insurance policy, you can be sure that you will receive the medical attention you need whenever you fall ill or are involved in an accident. It also helps make your life easier, as our partner physicians can invoice us directly for any expenses covered by the insurance.

Additional security for your retirement years

The individual pension insurance for self-employed persons is especially suitable for those who wish to supplement their statutory YEL insurance, as it is a flexible method for accruing additional income for your retirement years. When you take out a self-employed person’s pension insurance from OP, we will help you draw up a plan for your insurance premium payments and how your savings will be invested. Every insurance policy is always tailored to the needs and requirements of each insured person.

An entrepreneur also often needs corporate insurances

If your company owns, for example, motor vehicles, real estate or any other property, you will need other corporate insurances in addition to your entrepreneur’s insurances. In addition to individual insurances, we also provide insurance packages that include the necessary insurances to secure your company’s moveable property and the continuity of its operations.
