Welcome to Sombrilla Home

Offering compliant solutions for contractors and freelancers

Sombrilla is the umbrella company which offers freelancers and contractors the benefits of working for a limited company, without the administration or statutory responsibilities, providing peace of mind and absolute compliance with complete security.

Our umbrella company takes care of all the tax and administration burdens, leaving you to enjoy the many benefits available to you whilst working as a flexible employee of Sombrilla.

And we're so confident our umbrella company solution is the best option for contractors and freelancers that we offer one month's free trial to all new members.

We do not have any set-up costs or leavers' fees and our 'no work no cost' system means our members only incur an admin charge when they are working. We also offer a range of value-added services including free expenses processing and free Professional Indemnity, Employer's Liability and Public Liability insurances.

Sombrilla is an associate company of CMEASY a firm of Chartered Accountants, with many years experience of advising freelancers and contractors.

By following the correct use of HMRC legislation, Sombrilla's umbrella service ensures that your tax status is safeguarded at all times. Being a PAYE umbrella company, our payroll solutions are taxed at source, making them IR35 compliant. This makes Sombrilla the ultimate choice of PAYE umbrella solution.

Our professional advisors make sure you take home the highest rate of pay allowable under a PAYE system. Whilst we encourage the claiming of expenses as a way to mitigate earnings, we ensure that we do so within the limits of the law.

Sombrilla was formed with one purpose in mind, that is to implement a hassle-free professional umbrella service for the benefit of UK based freelancers, independent contractors and recruitment agencies.
