Pensions for the self-employed –Your guide
Everyone needs to plan ahead for retirement. People are living longer and healthier lives, so it is even more important to think about how and when to save for retirement and how long to work.
The basic State Pension will give you a start, but to have the lifestyle you want in retirement you need to think about a second pension, and the sooner you can start the better.
This guide tells you about the pension issues and options you should think about if you are self-employed.
Other guides in this series will give you more information about particular areas of pensions. See the directory for details about how you can get copies of these guides.
These guides can give you helpful information, but only you can make decisions about your pension.
