Is an umbrella company right for you?
If you are working as a contractor, joining an umbrella company is not your only option.
You could set up your own limited company or, depending on your circumstances, work as a sole trader. You could even join a PAYE arrangement with an agency.
Becoming an employee of an umbrella company
This is particularly suitable for relatively short contract periods, or if you do not want to run your own business or set up your own limited company. You do not have to worry about IR35 legislation either, as it does not apply to employees of umbrella companies.
At Brookson, we always put your interests first, so we are happy to talk to you openly about the different options and discuss which one may be bested suited to your circumstances. We will give you accurate and reliable information on the different ways of working, so you can see past the hype and make an informed decision that is right for you.
