The EASY Steps to getting on board are:

Step 1: Inform your agent or client.

You need to advise your agency or direct client the name of the umbrella company you are using, so that they can prepare their contract with the umbrella company’s name as “contractor”.

Step 2: Contract preparation and signing.

The contract will usually be sent directly to the umbrella company by the agent. The umbrella company will arrange for it to be signed by their director and forwarded onto you for checking/countersignature as required.

Step 3: Personal and bank details

The umbrella company will also have a standard application form for you to advise them of your name, address and banking details for direct credit transfers to your account.

Step 4: Tax details P45

You will need to send the umbrella company your form P45 from your last employer.

If you do not have a form P45 they will issue you a form P46, which will enable them to obtain a tax code to operate on the salary paid.

Step 5: Umbrella contract

Some umbrella companies will ask you to sign their own standard contract between yourself as an individual employee/shareholder and themselves. This contract will specify the terms and conditions of the umbrella company service under which you agree to work and be paid.
