About Umbrella Companies

More benefits and less fuss - all round

By using an umbrella company like Sombrilla, you are offered the benefits of a limited company without the administration or statutory responsibilities. You don’t have to worry about IR35, or Managed Service Company and Third Party Debt legislation - you're outside of these regulations altogether.


How does an Umbrella Company work?


Sombrilla signs a contract with your agency or client, and you in turn have a separate employment agreement with us. This effectively makes us your employer. Once we have your timesheets and expenses claims, we'll invoice your agency or client, receive the money and then pay you less any tax.

You avoid all the red tape that comes with being a company director. You avoid all the hassle of IR35 and the risks of infringing anti-avoidance legislation. You have no fees to pay when you're not working, and you still get tax relief on your expenses.

The net result? Less fuss all round.
