Jury service cover
Umbrella members can get compensated up to £2,500 if they lose income due to getting called up for jury service.

This cover provides up to £25k indemnity for representation to deal with an enquiry by HMRC into the application of the IR35 legislation on historical contracts.
Umbrella default cover
Get protected if you have an outstanding invoice with an umbrella company that is going bankrupt or into administration.

IPSE Member Directory

Get peace of mind as you run your business, knowing you're covered by IPSE.
Umbrella members have access to vital protections to help them minimise risk and protect their income such as cover for tax investigations, jury service, and umbrella default, as well as run-off IR35 enquiries cover. If you were previously at risk of IR35 investigation but are now working via an umbrella, this ‘run-off’ IR35 enquiries cover will protect you in respect of historic contracts.
With all of these insurances bundled into one membership, you're just one step away from being covered.
The perfect pairing for working via an umbrella
As an umbrella company worker, it's likely that you already get some of the benefits that IPSE has to offer via your umbrella. That's why we've designed this membership category to only include the benefits you actually need - nothing more, nothing less.
However, if you tend to go back and forth between working via an umbrella and your own limited company, our Director membership includes protection and benefits for both ways of working, which you can upgrade to at any time.
