Payroll, self-assessment and the compliance questions in between. Pick the service that fits where you are right now.
We employ you, invoice your agency, chase the money and run payroll. Invoicing, credit control, same-day payment options and insurance cover are all part of it.
Simple online submission of your information, checked and filed by advisers who know what HMRC expects. A flat fee of £105, whatever your situation.
For contractors working through their own company, we handle the company side of the admin — VAT, Corporation Tax and Companies House returns.
Work out what you would actually keep from a day rate through an umbrella, with employer costs, income tax and National Insurance shown line by line.
What IR35 actually means for a contractor paid through an umbrella, who determines your status, and where the real risks — and non-risks — sit.
Know a contractor or a recruiter who would benefit? Pass them our way and we will look after them — and you.
Both are legitimate. They suit different situations, and the difference in take-home is often smaller than people expect.
| Umbrella | Limited company | |
|---|---|---|
| Admin burden | Handled for you | Your responsibility (or your accountant's) |
| Employment status | Employee of the umbrella | Director and employee of your own company |
| IR35 inside contracts | Straightforward and compliant | Works, but the client must be comfortable with it |
| Short assignments | Well suited | Generally not worth the setup cost |
| Take-home | Predictable, easy to calculate | Can be higher at larger contract values |
We will tell you which route suits you and what your take-home looks like — free, and with no obligation to use us.
