SG – more than just an umbrella

Established in 1995, we have offices in Winchester, Ringwood, Southampton and London but serve contractors across the UK by phone, email and zoom. At SG Umbrella we pride ourselves on offering a level of service unheard of in the Umbrella market. Our umbrella employees all get a named contact who they can call on with any queries, can pay into any pension provider with no additional charge, and our FCSA accreditation gives our clients and employees the peace of mind they need to know that they will be looked after and kept compliant.

Umbrella and Limited Company options available

With the evolution of the contractor landscape over the years, we’ve adapted our service and supported our client through thick and thin. Everyone can choose between the pure Umbrella service at £21 per week or £79.50 per month, and our integrated Limited and Umbrella service for just £99 per month. And if you’re not sure which solution is right for you, we can help you decide.

Working with
agencies

We work with a number of agencies across the country and our success as a business stems from our “keep it simple” ethos, speed of set-up and great levels of service. We can have a new employee onboarded and umbrella contracts put in place the same day with compliance checks/documents emailed over immediately.

What is an umbrella company?

An umbrella company is a PAYE payroll service for contractors. The contractor becomes an employee of the umbrella company and is paid by that company, minus deductions including Income Tax, National Insurance Contributions (NIC) and Apprenticeship Levy. Using an umbrella company is a quick and easy way to get paid as a contractor.
