Do I get any insurance or health benefits from Holsum?
Legally, Holsum as your bakery supplier, cannot offer you benefits as you are not an employee of Holsum. There are commericial insurers who work with independent distributors to provide a wide range of medical, life and disability insurances for your consideration. Remember, as a self-employed Independent Distributor of your bakery distributorship, you are solely responsible for the operation of your route business, including your paperwork, taxes, governmental agency compliance, insurance, benefits, and equipment, as well as the hiring and training of your employees/agents.
