Understanding how an umbrella company works will get you part=way to making sure you get the most from the service.

The umbrella company service is ideal, see how the service works & how contractors like you get the benefit. The service delivers: 'limited company' status, negates IR35, turns timesheets into cash & sorts out the tax man on your behalf.
Contractors register with, and become an employee of the umbrella company. This leaves all the processing work associated with a contract role down to them. A processing fee is charged each time one of your timesheets is processed. The umbrella company service does all your record-keeping & tax calculations/payments.
This frees up your time and unchains you from spreadsheets & forms!
An umbrella company is nothing less than a total back-office support function for you as a busy contractor.
