Umbrella company costs- How do we compare?

 Although extremely rare we have known some umbrella companies to charge contractors over £100 a week. More typical fees for a leading umbrella company provider are in the region of £21-27 per week before tax relief.

It is unlikely that you will be able to work out their prices by comparing various differently formatted financial illustrations with different assumptions on expenses you will claim. Brookson is refreshingly honest. Our up-front pricing structure has been designed with total transparency, making it easier for you to see, at a glance, that we represent genuine value.

If you are comfortable you know the true fee you are paying you should then compare service features. We have listed our more typical services in a simple list format for you to use as a checklist. Just remember to consider the non-typical services we provide such as self assessment and pension planning.

The way services are provided should also be considered carefully i.e. compliance, honesty of advice, your own Personal Manager and finally technology, such as SMS, CHAPS and a good online portal service.

At Brookson, we’ve got nothing to hide. In fact we guarantee total fee transparency. We’ll even make direct price comparisons to our competitors fees so you can see for yourself.

If you do make the mistake of signing up based on an unrealistic illustration then you may quickly find your weekly take home is below what you expected. In this instance, ask your umbrella company for an explanation and again, we will be happy to review your payslips to help you get to the answers you need from the numbers you are seeing.
