Where can I get support for my self-employed business?
Running your own business brings many challenges, and it’s hard to find the right support when you need it.
IPSE exists to fill in those gaps. From essential resources to expert advice, we’ll help you create your path to success.
It can be hard to find the right support when you need it
Working for yourself can be incredibly rewarding, but it often means going it alone.
When you’re self-employed, there’s no HR department to turn to, no manager to ask for guidance, and no built-in team to lean on for advice or reassurance. Whether you're dealing with tax questions, legal worries, chasing payments, or simply wondering how to grow your business, it can be hard to know where to find reliable support.
Many self-employed people find themselves juggling everything without the backing they need to truly feel secure and confident in running their business.
We help fill in the gaps
IPSE exists to support the self-employed at every stage of their journey. With membership you have access to benefits that keep your business moving forward - whenever and wherever you need them:
