IPSE, The Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed, is a not-for-profit trade association that represents the interests of the self-employed, consultants, contractors and freelancers. It has evolved to become their champion, campaigning on issues that matter to the freelancing community, irrespective of industry focus.
Their aim is to work for proper recognition of independent consultants, contractors and freelancers as a genuine and valuable sector of the economy. In seeking to promote its members commercially and support their development, IPSE actively develops tools, services and relationships that will assist them.
They are also here to give their members the help they need to run their business with peace of mind. Members have access to legal advice, cover for sickness and many of the benefits employees receive.
