Umbrella Company

Flexible umbrella solutions for workers who want to enjoy the benefits of contracting, full employment rights and more

If you choose to work through an Umbrella Company, you become an employee of that company. It then contracts out your services to the end client or agency. The umbrella company pays you directly after making the necessary deductions for tax and National Insurance contributions on a Pay As You Earn (PAYE) basis.

As an umbrella company, Carleson is an organisation that employs temporary workers and enables them to carry out a number of short-term contracts for agencies and end-clients.

We will take care of your payroll and other administration, leaving you with more time to concentrate on the work that really matters.

Once you’ve signed up you effectively become an employee of Carleson Ltd. You will have an employment contract and you will be able to carry out multiple short-term contracts with less overall risk.

In terms of administration, there is none. As an employee, it is all taken care of for you

At Carleson we provide our employees with a number of important services, including:

  • Collecting payments from agencies on your behalf
  • Helping you claim allowable business expenses
  • Processing your payslip and making sure you get paid on time
  • Keeping you compliant with the latest tax regulation updates and the HMRC

Contractors for our Umbrella solution can come from a broad range of sectors including:

  • IT
  • Financial Services
  • Telecoms
  • Oil and Gas
  • Engineering
  • Health and social care
  • Construction
  • Education

    

Limited Company Set Up and Management

If you don’t mind some additional paperwork and managing your company’s financial affairs, then forming and operating your own Limited Company might be an approach for you.

Rather than being employed by an Umbrella Company you form your own company and become both a Director and a Shareholder of that company. You can then pay yourself a Director’s wage, vote dividends and claim your legitimate expenses back from the company all according to the up to date financial information

It may all sound complicated but we’ll guide you every step of the way and make sure you understand what it means to be a company director, what needs to be filed when and when to pay your company and personal taxes.

An important consideration before thinking about going down the Limited Company route is to think about if your contract falls inside IR35. If you’re unsure regarding what that means and how it affects you then go to our Advice section for more information.

  • Set up the Ltd Company for you if you do not have one
