While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Useful webinars hosted by IPSE

Useful webinars hosted by IPSE professionals on IR35, and even useful important information around contracting (e.g. Sole Trader vs Limited Company contractors, etc).

Being a member also gives me some peace of mind too.

Super helpful association with valuable benefits

I have been an IPSE member for more than 3 years. The features and benefits of my membership have been super valuable to me. I always recommend them to other contractors.

I have personally, used (i) tax and legal advice - very speedy and thorough technical support (ii) business interruption insurance - after a heart attack took me out of work for more than a month.

Other benefits such as free £5k life insurance and jury service cover are reassuring. Every little helps!

IPSE have a great support team - always responsive to queries and professional, insightful webinars.

I get great value from my membership.

Great resource / support for freelancers

For those trying to navigate the complexities of running a small business as a freelancer and trying to understand tax and legal issues, this is great. They offer various insurance packages to cover different aspects, they have contract templates, regular talks and events and some great perks such as co-working spaces and perkbox are thrown in. Highly recommended!

Great knowledge and experience

Had a quick phonecall to introduce me to IPSE. Eugene was incredibly knowledgable as well as approachable.

Looking through IPSE's site, there is a wealth of knowledge and information, including draft contracts and a members directory!
