A Sep IRA is a type of retirement account where people can put their money in it to save for retirement. These types of saving accounts have a higher interest rate, but the people can't get their money out until they retire.
A SEP IRA is a Simplified Employee Pension Individual Retirement Account for the self-employed with advantages and and challenges for you, and its something you should look into.
You can rollover your 401k account into any type of IRA, with the exception of an education IRA. However, you need to be careful and make sure that you do a direct rollover, or else you could be hit with taxes and penalties that are north of 40%. Make sure that you do your research.

Can you have both a Sep Ira and a Sep Ira?
Yes, and sep to traditional as well
Technically, the SEP IRA and the Traditional IRA are the same type of account. The only difference is that the SEP IRA is allowed to receive employer contributions. Therefore, you can combine the SEP IRA into the Traditional IRA without any ramifications. When doing so, move the assets as a (nonreportable) trustee-to-trustee transfer.

No you cannot. SEP-IRAs are contributory in nature meaning you can make contributions to them but you cannot rollover non-SEP-IRAs (or 401k accounts) into a SEP-IRA. If your SEP IRA is likely to become substantial or you have funds in a 401(k) from a previous employer and you are an one person (or one person with a spouse) business, you should look into individual 401(k)s. All of the major financial institution and self-directed trust companies offer them. They work like a corporate 401(k) but you have complete control. They may be better than a SEP since: 1. The contribution limits are higher 2. You can borrow against the 401(k) but not a SEP 3. You can have a Roth 401(k) but you cannot make Roth contributions to a SEP 4. You can buy life insurance or invest in a S corporation in a 401(k)
Yes, you can open a SEP IRA for yourself if you are self-employed or own a small business. A SEP IRA allows you to make contributions to your retirement savings.
A Sep IRA stands for Simplified Employee Pension IRA. Withdrawals from Sep IRA funds are taxed as if it was ordinary income. Taxes are paid at the beginning when a Roth IRA is opened. Withdrawals are not taxed so in the end a Roth IRA costs less than a Sep IRA. Both types of IRAs are great forms of investment.

Converting an IRA (traditional, rollover, SEP or SIMPLE[1]) or other eligible qualified retirement plan to a Roth IRA may be more attractive and accessible than ever before. As of January 1, 2010, all investors have an opportunity to convert their retirement assets to a Roth IRA as income restrictions are going away.
