New to contracting?

If you’re new to contracting, we will help you decide if an Umbrella offering is the best option for you. Generally speaking, it will give you the best take-home pay if you’re earning £15 an hour or less. If you earn more than that, you may be better off using our Limited Company contractor service. Our expert team is on hand to help you make the right choice.
