Founded by experts with over 25 years of experience

Churchill Knight Umbrella was launched in 2017 to provide a trustworthy payroll service for contractors and freelancers in the UK who are inside IR35 or want to avoid the hassle of becoming a director of their own limited company. We provide an industry-leading, compliant payroll service that processes the payroll of thousands of happy employees each week. But instead of taking our word for it, why not look at our review page to see what our employees say about us?

Our promise to our clients

They will also provide a tailored take-home pay calculation to help you make an informed decision about your payroll.

As an FCSA-accredited and SafeRec certified umbrella company, you can rest assured that you are in the safest hands and will receive a trustworthy and reliable service. From registration and throughout your time with us, we have dedicated teams to provide helpful information and support to ensure you receive exceptional customer service and answer any questions.
