Keeping it simple
Why contractors choose an umbrella
An umbrella company employs you, runs your payroll and deals with the admin, so you can get on with the work you’re contracted to do.
Employment rights
As an employee of the umbrella, you’re entitled to rights such as sick pay, maternity and paternity pay, and holiday pay, and you’re protected by UK employment law.
Convenience
Payroll, tax and National Insurance are taken care of for you. There’s no invoicing or chasing payments, and none of the admin that comes with self-employment.
Flexibility
A good choice for short-term contracts. You can work for different clients without setting up a limited company or taking on its legal and accounting obligations.

An umbrella company employs you and sits between you and your client. You send it a signed timesheet, it invoices your client, then pays you with a payslip showing every deduction. Your paperwork and back-office admin are handled for you.
You agree your rate with your agency or client, and the umbrella company employs you for the contract. You send it a signed timesheet, it invoices your client, and once the client pays it runs your pay through PAYE and pays you with a payslip that shows every deduction.
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.
IR35 is legislation that looks at whether a contractor would be treated as an employee if they worked for the client directly. Your status depends on your contract and working conditions, not on how you are paid. If you work through an umbrella company you are already its employee and paid through PAYE. We can explain what IR35 means for your contract.
