A compliant PAYE umbrella service for contractors working through agencies. We invoice, we chase, we run payroll — and you are paid on time, every time.
Simple online submission of your information, backed by a team of advisers who know exactly what HMRC expects. One flat fee, whatever your situation.
Three steps, repeated every week or month. You will always know where your money is.
Submit your approved hours online or by email. We check everything is in order and query anything that looks wrong before it becomes a problem.
We raise the invoice on your agency, allocate the payment and chase anything overdue. Credit control is our job, not yours.
Once funds clear, we run payroll and pay you through PAYE with a proper payslip. Same-day payment options are available.
For over a decade we have worked with contractors across the UK, which means we already know how agencies operate, how payments get held up, and how to stop that becoming your problem.
We work with over 1,000 UK agencies, so whether you are one week into your first contract or ten years in, there is nothing about your assignment we have not handled before. And when something needs a judgement call, you get an adviser who will talk it through rather than a ticket number.
