Could you benefit by using an umbrella?

There are many reasons why contractors and freelancers use umbrella companies for their payroll. Using an umbrella company is the easiest way to get paid as a contractor working inside IR35, and the amount of administration you are required to complete is significantly less than if you were the director of your own limited company. Umbrella companies can be used for any length of contract and industry, and there are no joining or leaving fees when you use Churchill Knight Umbrella.

Industries and sectors we can help

Churchill Knight Umbrella’s PAYE service offers a compliant way to get paid for contractors working in any industry. Here are some of the sectors our employees operate in:

  • Accounting
  • Finance
  • Architecture
  • Designers
  • Surveyors
  • Engineers
  • Construction
  • IT
  • Legal
  • Locum doctors
  • Locum nurses
  • Management and consultancy
  • Marketing
  • PR
  • Social work
  • Education
