B1 New to Umbrella Companies

The umbrella company service is aimed at contractors who don't like their life clogged up with paperwork, red-tape & endless admin. Sound like you?

If you're after a hassle-free working life as a contractor then registering for the service of an umbrella company is your best choice.

Intelligent Design

An umbrella company is specifically designed around the needs of a contractor. Not only does the service complete every bit of paperwork & form-filling, it also takes care of all the tax matters and deals with HMRC - so you don't have to!

Red-Tape Monster

There are still some contractors around who do business through their own limited company. This choice is best taken by those who are meticulous when it comes to record keeping, those who have no fear of filling in a variety of forms and who are confident enough to handle HMRC directly.

In its most basic form an umbrella company is nothing more than a ready-made & ready-to-go limited company, used for contracting. It's a lot easier than handling your own limited company, and a lot cheaper!

What's the Best Bits?

No long-term commitments, for starters. The umbrella company service is good for a single day's contracting or for many years - and all in between! For the times when you are not contracting - you don't pay a penny to your umbrella company.

An umbrella company is great for some because you don't have the burden of filling in paperwork or having to remember deadlines for bills.
