Telephone meeting with Tom today

Telephone meeting with Tom today regarding life insurance, covered everything financial in detail and went through a variety of products and scenarios allowing me to choose the perfect cover for myself and my family should something unfortunate happen. Thanks for the advice I can now relax knowing my family’s future is secure

Since the very first moment I spoke…

Since the very first moment I spoke with Marianne Birchall she has been absolutely amazing. I could email her any questions at any time, she took her time to explain things to me and was so incredibly patient and informative. An added bonus, she is a wonderful person to talk to and time spent with her flies by. .

Good pensions advice

Alex Mitios has always provided good pensions advice every time we have spoken. He does so in a very friendly way and engaging way, too! Grace Wignall has always been very quick to action requests relating to my pension contributions.

Maxit well being

Set up of call by Kandy was easy, and Tom conducted the discussion well. The call confirmed that I had actioned most of what I needed to put in place, so was good to get confirmation. There was an issue with the telephone/mobile line, so i would suggest these discussions would go better via TEAMS/Zoom.

How Does An Umbrella Company Work?

Working through our umbrella company means becoming an employee of our business, receiving compensation through the same reliable processes as permanent staff.

While other self-employment options require you to manage your own tax returns, our umbrella company handles these responsibilities for you, deducting income tax via Pay as You Earn (PAYE) and managing National Insurance contributions automatically.

Your only responsibility is submitting completed timesheets. We then invoice your client, receive payment, and promptly transfer your earnings (after standard deductions for income tax, NI contributions, and our transparent service fee).

Our umbrella company solution has become a preferred choice for contractors seeking simplicity and security. With our streamlined processes, you can be set up and ready to go within hours—start your journey with us today.

The Benefits of Using an Umbrella Company

It’s simple to set up and even easier to use. Submit your completed timesheets to the umbrella company and they will ensure the client pays for your work and deduct any tax contributions.

We offer a rapid same-day set-up, meaning you can get started and reap the benefits of umbrella employment straight away. More importantly, you also don’t have to worry about any hidden costs or exit fees as we provide full visibility of our same-day payments via SMS notifications.

It’s just such a simple solution. Simple to set up and even easier to use. All you have to do is submit your completed timesheets to the umbrella company, who’ll then ensure the client pays for your work and deduct any tax contributions. When you submit your timesheets regularly, you can expect to receive regular payments.
Brookson offer fast, effective same-day set-up, meaning you can get started and reap the benefits of umbrella employment straight away. Perhaps more importantly, you also don’t have to worry about any hidden set up costs or exit fees, while we also provide full visibility of our same-day payments via SMS notifications.

Easy to Set Up

We pass your tax and National Insurance contributions straight on to HMRC, ensuring you’re completely in line with your legal obligations and you don’t have to worry about breaking any rules. In addition, we run multiple daily pay roll runs to make sure you’re paid on time, every time; providing you with a more consistent and dependable source of income.
Using an umbrella solution allows you to focus on your work. No tax returns. No chasing client invoices. No frustrating paperwork to fill out. We take care of everything, while our experienced team are always on hand to answer any queries or address any concerns you may have. Instead of worrying about filing your tax return on time, you’ll have more time to concentrate on the job you’ve been hired to do.

Reduced Stress

Brookson also provide work-finding services to assist you in finding your next assignment, alongside comprehensive worker insurance at no extra cost.
When working under an umbrella company, you’ll be given the same rights and benefits as a permanent employee—such as sick pay, holiday pay, workplace pension and maternity leave. In short, you get the same statutory benefits as a regular member of staff, but also receive the freedom and flexibility which makes self-employment such a popular path.

Statutory Employee Benefits

Due to the improved job security and the fact it’s so easy to get started, umbrella employment is an ideal option for those just starting to dip their toe in the world of contracting. Since you’ll still have access to the same statutory benefits of regular employment and will always get paid on time, you can start self-employed life without feeling completely weighed down by financial responsibility and stress.

Helps Contractors Get Started

In fact, umbrella companies provide a great solution for just about anyone working for themselves. Whether you’re working on a long-term project or a much shorter assignment, setting up under an umbrella company is one of the most convenient ways to get started. This is a particularly good choice if you are working intermittently and don’t want to worry about managing your finances. However, if you’re looking for further flexibility, Flex is a flexible way for contractors to switch easily between Limited and Umbrella working as and when needed. This means that you can continue to work your current contract through our Limited Solution and switch back to Umbrella when you start your next PSC contract – it’s that simple!

A Flexible Solution

Since you won’t have to worry about managing your finances or any admin and paperwork, umbrella employment will naturally free up a lot of your time. As well as lifting a large weight off your shoulders and reducing stress levels, working through an umbrella company will ultimately ensure you’ve got more time to concentrate on your work and improve the quality of your results.

Freeing Up Time

Limited Company vs PAYE Umbrella: Which is Right For You?

As someone who is self-employed one of the biggest decisions you have to make is whether you set up as a limited company or you work through an umbrella company. This decision is based around your own specific requirements and how you want to operate as a contractor. There are both fantastic benefits and some potential drawbacks for both options. So the question is: which is the right one for you?

Set Up

To set up a limited company you have to register your business’ name at Companies House. Once this is done, your business is now legally a separate entity to yourself, meaning that you won’t be personally liable for any company debts and financial issues.
Starting work under an umbrella company is even easier to set up. You simply sign a contract with the company, then submit a timesheet so they know how much to charge the client for your services.

Managing your finances

When working as a limited company, you’ll be solely responsible for the filling out, organising and submitting all of your financial paperwork. From filing your tax return to managing client invoices, the administration of your business will be completely down to you, although you can always hire a specialist contractor accountant to help if need be.
In an umbrella company, they will take care of all this paperwork, leaving you with more time to concentrate on actually doing your job.

Take-Home Pay

When working as a limited company, you avoid the cost of umbrella margins and you can also benefit from all kinds of tax efficiencies. Generally speaking, contractors operating as a limited company tend to take home more money. In fact, the average limited company stands to make 20% more than their umbrella company counter-parts.
However, umbrella companies take a lot of the hassle out of self-employment. By taking care of your tax payments, NICs and processing invoices, they significantly reduce the stress caused by admin and paperwork. However, the financial rewards perhaps aren’t as great as those available to limited companies. Since an umbrella company will take a chunk of your earnings to cover their services, your take-home pay will inevitably look different in comparison to working as a limited company.
