What is an Umbrella Company?

An umbrella company is a company that is already set-up, insured, VAT-registered, and has a business bank account in place. It acts as a vehicle that allows professional contractors to get paid in a compliant and simple manner when working with clients. Our quick and easy set-up allows you to start contracting straight away!

Why do Contractors use Umbrella Companies?

1. No need for your own company; almost eliminates administration, hassle and time.
2. Reduces paperwork; we do the invoicing, and you get access to easy-to-use portals and mobile apps to upload timesheets and expenses.
3. Keeps you Tax Compliant; your taxes are deducted from your pay so at year-end you have no surprise tax bill to pay and you will be tax compliant on your earnings through the Umbrella Company.
4. Reduces costs; our umbrella companies are fully insured for almost all work sectors.
5. Reduces stress; one point of contact with your Dedicated Account Manager.
