Not true, you can put more than that in a SEP IRA.

As I understand it, it doesn't help you as an employee of a small business though unless the business makes the contribution. SEP IRAs are primarily intended for freelancers and small business owners.

Unless I'm mistaken it looks like SEP-IRAs have to be offered by an employer as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEP-IRA

If you're self employed you're your own employer. I've been making SEP contributions for years using my freelance income. I also have a full time job.
