You register the company with Companies House, appoint at least one director and set up a business bank account. We can introduce you to ltd company specialists who handle the setup and explain each step.
As a director you keep the company’s records, file annual accounts and a confirmation statement with Companies House, and file the company tax return with HMRC. If the company pays you a salary, it also runs payroll. Most contractors use a specialist accountant to stay on top of these duties.
It depends on your contract and how you like to work. An umbrella company suits contractors who want an employer to handle payroll and admin, or who move between shorter contracts. A limited company gives you more control, but it brings accounts, filings and director duties. We talk through your situation and explain both options so you can decide.
It might. IR35 applies when a contractor working through their own company would be treated as an employee if they worked for the client directly. For most contracts the client decides your status, based on the contract and your working practices, and tells you. We can explain what an inside or outside decision means for how you work.
No. The call is free and there is no obligation and no pressure. We explain the options that fit your contract and you decide what, if anything, you want to do next.
