STEP 01

Tell us about your contract

Fill in the form, or call us. A day rate and an agency are usually all we need to give you a figure.

STEP 02

We come back with a quote

Within one business day you will know what you would take home and what our service costs β€” in writing.

STEP 03

Start being paid properly

Submit your timesheet, and we invoice the agency, chase the money and run your payroll.

On fees

Send us what you are paying now, and we will put the two side by side

Many umbrella companies quote you a figure and then add insurance, payslips and admin on top of it. Ours is one number that covers everything β€” agreed before you start, and unchanged afterwards.

Forward us your current umbrella invoice and we will show you the difference. And if the numbers do not work in your favour, we will tell you that rather than waste your time.

Already with another umbrella?

Switching takes days, not weeks β€” and there is no gap in pay

You can change umbrella company part-way through an assignment. We are connected to over 1,000 UK agencies, so there is a good chance yours is one we already invoice β€” which makes the handover straightforward rather than a negotiation.

STEP 01

Tell your agency

You let them know where to send payment. That is the only part that needs you.

STEP 02

We handle the onboarding

We take care of the paperwork and confirm the details with your agency directly.

STEP 03

Your next payment comes to us

No break in pay, and no effect on your assignment or your contract end date.

If you are already with an umbrella, we will compare what you are paying against our fee β€” and if there is nothing in it, we will tell you that.

Why contractors use us

A compliant umbrella, and someone who answers the phone

We work with over 1,000 UK agencies, so we already know how payments get held up and how to stop that becoming your problem. You are employed and paid through PAYE with income tax and National Insurance deducted at source β€” no loan schemes, no retention promises that cannot survive employer's National Insurance.

Questions contractors ask

What does it cost?

One fee, agreed before you commit and confirmed in writing. It is deducted from the assignment value before employer costs and your payroll, and everything is included β€” invoicing, credit control, payroll, payslips and insurance. Nothing is billed on top.

How quickly will I be paid?

Once your approved timesheet is in and funds have cleared from your agency, payroll runs. Same-day payment options are available β€” ask when you sign up.

Can I switch umbrella company mid-contract?

Yes. Nothing stops you changing provider part-way through an assignment. You tell your agency where to send payment, we handle the onboarding, and there is no gap in your pay.

Does using an umbrella affect my IR35 position?

No. Your status is decided by the end client and the working practices of the assignment. Because you are paid through PAYE as an employee, the disguised remuneration exposure IR35 targets does not arise. Read more on our umbrella page.

Do I need to invoice anyone myself?

No. We raise the invoices on your agency, allocate the payments when they arrive, and chase anything overdue. Submitting a timesheet is the extent of your admin.
