Welcome to the world of self-employment!

She can purchase BOE, or Business Overhead Expense insurance, which is DI,
or Disability Income, to cover bona fide business expenses (the stuff she
deducted). This will help, and its generally convertible to regular DI, if
she needs it as her business grows.

An alternative is to seek out an agent that works for companies that are
less stringent on financial underwriting, such as Combined Insurance or
AFLAC. They can write decent coverage where other companies can't seem to
get their pants on with the zipper in the front yet.

Hi, if anyone has experience in this area, please feel free to give
advice. Any help is appreciated.

A friend of mine, who has a S-Corp for graphic design. She's the sole
owner/employee of the business. Now she wants to get a disability
income insurance in case anything happens to her. The problem is, her
accountant was able to deduct a lot of expenses from her annual
earnings and results in a much smaller reported income; therefore,
much smaller disability coverage... She never applied for Worker's
Comp because she has no employees though she's eligible. Will Worker's
Comp provide enough extra coverage to offset the small disability
coverage? From what I know, that worker's comp is only short term and
if she's permanently disabled, it wouldn't help much. Is there any
other way she can do to help the situation?

Thanks in advance.
