Finding the right payroll solution

As a contractor there are a number of options that you can choose when it comes to the way that you get paid. You may be able to opt for straight-forward PAYE direct from your agency or you may want to set up a limited company. For many, the potential losses in earnings from the first option to the hassle of the second are simply non-starters. Happily there is a third way-using an Umbrella Company. This gives you many of the benefits of a limited company without the administrative burden and costs.

Your recruitment agency may also have recommended that you use an Umbrella Company knowing that this is a tax efficient way for contractors to get paid.

Whatever your motivation there are some very good reasons why our Umbrella services, Key Portfolio or Portfolio Plus, are right for you.
