Why use an Umbrella Company?

The key question is: why use an umbrella company? If you're reading this, you may be new to contracting or have just been offered your first job as a contractor. You have most likely been informed by your agency that you need to have either your own limited company or be registered with an umbrella company. some agencies may even force you to use a certain umbrella company for commission purposes (which is unethical, it is your choice). The truth is that it is up to you to decide and the key things to consider are your employment circumstances. Choosing an umbrella company typically comes down to three simple considerations:

1. If the job is a 'one off contract' then its probably not worth the hassle of setting up a limited company, registering for PAYE, VAT, completing corporation tax returns etc. You should choose an umbrella company.
2. If you don't like paperwork and simply want to increase your take home pay, an umbrella company is the option for you.
3. If you are a career contractor, looking to move from contract to contract, the right choice financially is to set up and run your own limited company
