When you pay for your own health insurance, you’re responsible for more than just finding the right health plan.

You’re trying to manage costs, understand tax implications, avoid costly mistakes, and figure out whether the system is working against you.

Many people spend hours researching online, talking to friends, and sorting through conflicting advice, only to end up more confused than when they started.

That’s why we’ve developed our Self-Employed Playbook.

It’s a collection of strategies we’ve used to help Colorado business owners, freelancers, consultants, contractors, and entrepreneurs make smarter healthcare and financial decisions.

Our goal is simple: Save you time, give you peace of mind – and reduce costs!

Most Self-Employed People Don’t Know Their Options

Many self-employed individuals assume they only have one choice:

  2. Pay the premium.
  3. Hope for the best.

In reality, there may be opportunities to reduce costs, increase flexibility, and create a strategy that works better for your unique situation.
Here are a few of the topics we help clients explore.

Many self-employed individuals are surprised to learn how taxable income can impact healthcare costs and premium assistance.

The challenge is understanding how business decisions, deductions, retirement contributions, and other financial choices may affect your overall benefits picture.

For the right person, thoughtful planning can make a significant difference.

Most people never learn how these pieces fit together.

The right approach can vary dramatically from one person to the next.

The best solution isn’t always the most obvious one.
