  • Competitive fees of just £21.00 per week - £17.20 after tax relief / £67.50 per month - £54.00 after tax relief.
  • Unlike other Umbrella Companies we do not charge a percentage of your income, our fee remains the same regardless of your earnings.
  • For the duration of each contract you will be guaranteed a weekly or monthly payment from us regardless of whether we have received funds from your agency/client – this is a unique service within our industry.
  • We deduct our fees at source when we make payment to you - only when we make payment to you! This means that you only pay us when you are working and not when you are between contracts.
  • You submit both timesheet and expenses information online and we will email invoices to your agent/client, which means that we do not have to rely on 'snail mail'.
  • We do not charge for processing your expenses
  • We offer a contributory pension scheme as well as life assurance, income protection and mortgages all specially tailored to your needs as an independent contractor. For more details please visit our Financial Services Page.
  • As a member of ContractorUmbrella you will have access to discounted BUPA private medical cover and travel insurance, discounted rates for vehicle leasing and if required monthly interest free Professional Indemnity cover. For more details visit our Members Services Page.
  • You can register with us online now and your account will be open and ready for you to use within 24 hours. Your personal Account Manager will contact you within this period. You then have 24/7 online access to your account information.
  • Emails will be answered within 4 hours, if sent during normal office hours and the telephone will be answered, by a real person, within 3 rings. We have set-up a Customer Service Charter to ensure all clients receive the same high levels of service.
