The Talmix network benefits from a special 12.5% annual discount
Talmix is delighted to include IPSE in its list of partners: an organization who are as passionate about representing, defending and protecting the self-employed as we are.
About IPSE
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 them resources, protection, a community, and a voice.
How IPSE supports the self-employed
Self-employment offers enormous rewards - flexibility, independence and success on your own terms. At the same time, this career path comes with its challenges. The system lacks an official support structure, leaving gaps that need to be filled on your journey to success.
IPSE is a lifeline for the self-employed. From essential protection to expert advice, IPSE are here to help you find your way.
Whether you're looking to join a Community of self-employed professionals, want to Kickstart your career in self-employment, or are already established as a Freelancer, Director, or Umbrella worker, IPSE has a membership tailored for you.
Why do most of our network join IPSE?
Protection: Concentrate on what you do best, knowing that any worse case scenarios are covered and any loss of income should be minimal.
Save time and money: Having everything in one place narrows searching time down exponentially. The insurances, discounts, perks and partner offers save members hundreds of pounds each year.
