Where are you now?

Do you already have an existing company?

There are two possible paths for contractors who currently have an existing company. Depending on your IR35 status you could:

1. Leverage an accountant

2. Move to umbrella paye services

It all depends on your personal circumstances.

We can help you make the connections you need to thrive in either situations – simply fill in our comparison form and we’ll get back to you.

Are you new to contracting?

We understand that payroll is often regarded as a daunting subject, especially as it directly impacts your personal finance.

Keeping your financial situation as secure and stable as possible should be in your interest and umbrella companies can definitely help with this – providing you mandatory sick pay, holiday pay, and maternity pay.

That being said, we emplore you to research other alternatives too and assess the available options against your current circumstance.

If you could use some help with weighing up your options, we’re here to help, just fill in the comparison form.

Already using an umbrella company?

One of our customers’ biggest concerns prior to using our comparison service is that of finding reliable and trustworthy umbrella companies. The highly saturated market makes it harder to compare available options with ease.

Before we agree to work with any payroll service provider we vet their services to ensure quality; practice legitimacy, payment punctuality, and customer service quality among others.

We test these to make sure our customers receive the best comparison service possible.

Frequently asked questions

Umbrella companies are designed to enhance your contracting career by alleviating administrative tasks and ensuring timely payment for your work. Opting for a reputable umbrella company means you can enjoy the perks of being permanently employed alongside the adaptability that comes with part-time contracting.

Alongside handling all administrative tasks regarding employment and pay, umbrella companies also provide statutory benefits to their contractors who are now deemed as employed, which include:

  • Sick Pay
  • Maternity / Paternity / Adoption Pay
  • Holiday Pay
  • Retirement Pension

It’s incredibly easy to get setup with an umbrella company. Most companies can get you set up within 24 hours – all of the service providers we compare do.

Yes of course. As long as you continue to meet tax and national insurance contributions, you can choose to get paid in whatever manner you choose.

 

Aside from retaining more of your pay and managing all administrative tasks associated with payroll, as an employee of an umbrella company you are entitled to statutory benefits you would otherwise not be entitled to as a freelancer / contractor, these include:

  • Holiday Pay
  • Sick Pay
  • Maternity / Paternity / Adoption Leave
  • Pension Enrollment

When utilising an umbrella company you don’t need to be concerned with IR35 as you are that umbrellas employee, meaning you continue to pay your tax and national insurance, so IR35 is not applicable.

However, if you work through your own limited company, you may be subject to IR35 and it’s your responsibility to ensure you are operating in-line with the current legislation.

Our name says it all! We help contractors like you find umbrella companies.

To do this, we are constantly vetting and reaching out to umbrella companies throughout the UK. When we find an umbrella company that successfully meets our criteria (Compliancy/Transparency, Reputation, and Capacity for New Employees) they are then added to our database so that when you fill in you details we can compare each of our connections for the best rates and customer satisfaction levels.
