How IPSE membership supports your growth

Growth rarely comes from one big break. It comes from getting the small things right, again and again. Our Empower and Accelerate memberships give you the everyday tools and experts to help with exactly those moments. 

The biggest decisions in your business, raising your rates, moving into a new market, are also the easiest to get wrong without someone to test your thinking against. 

Accelerate members get strategic mentoring worth £300: time with someone senior who's worked with businesses like yours, to talk through where you're heading and what's holding you back. 

Empower and Accelerate members also get unlimited 30-minute mentoring sessions with our experts, so you always have one-to-one business advice before your next big move.

We have guidance on pricing, planning and growth, including business plan templates, our day rates guide, and advice on reaching new markets and selling your services.

Our Business Hub also has contract templates, design and copywriting briefs, and advice on branding yourself.

You'll have full access to our on-demand learning: over five years of webinar recordings on topics from social media and AI to marketing and growth planning.

We also run quarterly workshops and planning sessions, where small groups of members work through individual business challenges and set a plan for the next three months.

Membership also funds our lobbying in Westminster, where we're calling on government to unlock growth for the self-employed.

If the tax system or reporting burden is holding your business back, that's why we keep pushing for the government to review policies like IR35 and Making Tax Digital. We want self-employment to be a business choice that's supported and able to grow on its own terms.

Our Launch programme guides you through the early stages of self-employment so you can be confident you've set up your business the right way.

With over 20 short videos, plus templates and resources you can work through at your own pace, it covers everything from tax and insurance to choosing between a sole trader or limited company setup.
