Umbrella payroll, self-assessment & contractor support

Refer a contractor

Know someone contracting who is overpaying for payroll, chasing their own invoices or unsure what they are actually taking home? Point them our way.

Why contractors switch to us

Most contractors who move to TJL do it for one of three reasons: their current provider is costing more than they realised, their payments are late or unpredictable, or they have nobody to ask when a tax question comes up.

We have worked with UK contractors for over a decade and with more than 1,000 agencies, so we already know how the money usually gets held up โ€” and how to stop it becoming your contractor's problem.

What they get

  • Invoicing and credit control โ€” we chase late agency payments so they do not have to.
  • Payroll and salary operations โ€” paid through PAYE with a proper payslip every time.
  • Same-day payment options โ€” once the timesheet is in and funds have cleared.
  • Comprehensive insurance plans โ€” professional indemnity and employer's liability cover.
  • An adviser who answers โ€” free consultation at any stage of their contracting career.

How to refer

The simplest route is to ask them to call us directly and mention your name, so we know where the introduction came from. If you would rather we made contact, email us their details with their permission โ€” we will not approach anyone cold.

Make the introduction

Call us or send over their details and we will take it from there. Free consultation for them, and no obligation at any point.

Common questions

Worth knowing

Can they switch mid-contract?

Yes. They tell their agency where to send payment and we handle the onboarding. No gap in pay.

What if they are on a limited company?

We also handle the company side โ€” VAT, Corporation Tax and Companies House returns. Ask us about it.

Do they have to commit?

No. The consultation is free and they can walk away at any point. We would rather they understood their options.
