What is an umbrella company?
An umbrella company, in simple terms, is an intermediary (a third party) that acts as a critical bridge between you and the agency. The relationship between a contractor and an umbrella company is akin to an employer-employee relationship. When you receive a contract from an agency and opt to work through an umbrella company to provide your services to the end-client, the umbrella company you appoint becomes your employer.
The umbrella company acts as your employer, paying you salary (which they collect from the agency or the end-client), and process your timesheets. You are on their payroll. In addition to this, they will deduct National Insurance, income tax, and pensions where applicable. They charge a fee for their services, typicall in the range of £10 to £60 per week, depending on the services you opt for, which they deduct from your pay.
What is a Professional Employer Organisation (PEO)?
A Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) in the UK is a company that helps intnernational businesses manage their HR, payroll, and employee-related tasks. Essentially, the PEO becomes the legal employer of your staff, handling things like tax, payroll, benefits, and compliance with employment laws. However, you retain control over the day-to-day management and work responsibilities of your employees.
PEOs are particularly useful for small to medium-sized businesses that want to outsource complex HR functions, reduce administrative burdens, and ensure compliance with UK employment regulations without having to build an in-house HR team.
For a international businesses expanding into the UK, a Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) can be a valuable partner. PEO allows your business to hire and manage employees in the UK without the need to establish a local legal entity.
