Thinking about contracting, choosing between an umbrella company and a limited company, or simply looking for solid guidance? These expertly written guides break everything down in plain English so you can make the right call for your career.

An Umbrella Company is a company that is already setup, insured, VAT registered, named, and has a bank account in place. It acts as a vehicle that allows you to get paid in a compliant manner when operating as a professional contractor and it simplifies administrative tasks, allowing you to focus on your work. Our quick and simple setup allows you to start your contracting career straight away.

Directors of Umbrella Companies can claim various expenses. These can include membership fees, office supplies, broadband charges and more. It’s important to understand these deductions, and that’s where we come in. Our expenses for contractors page can provide clarity on what business expenses are claimable, helping you to plan and maximise your tax efficiency.

Deciding between being a director of an Umbrella Company or having a Personal Limited Company? Both have tax benefits, however the option you should go with greatly depends on your circumstances. Book a call with our team, they can help you evaluate both options to see what’s best for your contracting career.

Under the Umbrella Company Director Solution you can’t buy a company car. However, if this is a priority for you, a Personal Limited Company may be a better option for your contracting career. Setting up your own Personal Limited Company is ideal for those who want to buy assets (such as a company car), retain funds in the company or employ a staff member.
