FAQs

What is the difference between an umbrella company and a PAYE agency?
An umbrella company employs the contractor directly and handles all payroll and tax responsibilities, while a PAYE (Pay As You Earn) agency typically processes payments through the PAYE system but doesn’t employ the contractor. The umbrella company offers more comprehensive services and employee benefits.
Are contractors entitled to employee benefits when using an umbrella company?
Yes, contractors working through an umbrella company are usually entitled to employee benefits such as holiday pay, sick pay, and pension contributions, which are not typically available to those working through other types of arrangements.
How does an umbrella company differ from a limited company?
An umbrella company provides a consolidated payroll service, with contractors being employed by the umbrella company, whereas a limited company involves contractors setting up and running their own business, managing their own payroll, and handling their own tax obligations.
