Could you benefit by using an umbrella?

There are many reasons why contractors and freelancers use umbrella companies for their payroll. Using an umbrella company is the easiest way to get paid as a contractor working inside IR35, and the amount of administration you are required to complete is significantly less than if you were the director of your own limited company. Umbrella companies can be used for any length of contract and industry, and there are no joining or leaving fees when you use Churchill Knight Umbrella.

Industries and sectors we can help

  • Accounting

Churchill Knight Umbrella

Churchill Knight Umbrella was launched in 2017 to provide a compliant and trustworthy payroll service for contractors and freelancers in the UK. The number of contractors on our payroll is increasing each week, mainly thanks to positive word-of-mouth.

Churchill Knight Umbrella is committed to compliance and is proud to be an FCSA-accredited umbrella company. Having passed the strict auditing and assessment process, we’ve proven that we operate ethically and in accordance with UK tax law and HMRC regulations.

We are also delighted to be a SafeRec-certified umbrella company. SafeRec’s auditing tool (powered by AI) conducts a thorough audit and cross-references every payslip we process with RTI sent to HMRC. Each time you are paid, you are sent a payslip audit report to check that you have been paid compliantly.
