Why Choose an Umbrella Company?
An umbrella company simplifies contracting for professionals who want to focus on their work without worrying about tax compliance or payroll issues. By choosing an umbrella provider from our approved list, contractors benefit from:
•Simplified Payment Process: With PAYE handling all taxes and contributions, you never have to worry about unexpected tax bills.

•Security: Avoiding risky tax schemes that could lead to penalties or investigations, thanks to our thorough vetting process.

We work closely with trusted umbrella providers who meet rigorous compliance standards. This means you can rest assured knowing your tax and National Insurance obligations are fully managed, and your employment rights are safeguarded.
