Contractor Umbrella Companies
With so many umbrellas to choose from, how do you know which one is best for your circumstances? It’s not an easy decision, but we’ve created two directories to try and help you make an informed decision. The first list is our top 10 umbrella companies which consists of PAYE provers that are all FCSA accredited. The second list is below – our comprehensive directory of umbrella companies (all which have achieved FCSA accreditation as well). Please read our disclaimer below.
Before selecting an umbrella company for your payroll, we really encourage you to carry out your own due diligence. It is really important that you only consider using compliant umbrella companies for your payroll, because if you engage with a tax avoidance scheme (even by mistake), you could find yourself in serious trouble with HMRC.
