How it all started...
IPSE, The Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed, is the UK’s only not-for-profit association dedicated to the self-employed. Originally formed in 1999 as PCG, a protest organisation against the IR35 tax legislation, it has evolved into much more than that. It now serves as a genuine support system for the self-employed, offering resources, protection, a community, and a voice.
Our mission
As a dynamic and diverse not-for-profit membership, we celebrate the self-employed, providing the essential support and recognition they deserve.
Our vision
A future where self-employment is recognised as a cornerstone of the economy; where fair treatment and essential support are accessible to all.
Our values
- We’re united behind a common goal
- We’re always accessible
- We’re motivated by our membership & put members first
- We know our stuff
