An Umbrella company is a ready-made invoicing vehicle that remove the administration, cost and hassle that exist for people who prefer to freelance or contract.
In other words, an Umbrella Company allows contractors to contract without the need to operate their own Limited Company.
With an Umbrella Company, the contractor becomes an employee of the company and is paid a mixture of salary, expenses and pensions.
An Umbrella Company remains a viable choice for contractors due to the convenience it provides and the fact that with all the new taxation legislation currently in place, the tax advantages that once existed for contractors using Personal Limited Companies have now been removed.
For contractors, an Umbrella Company is the definition of convenience.
In today's IR35 contracting environment, an Umbrella Company is the tax effective structure of choice. An Umbrella Company is also the lowest risk option around.
With an Umbrella Company, the freelancer is covered by numerous insurances for likely unforeseen events. This will be built into the cost of the service.
