Certified Umbrella Lookup
Search umbrella companies we have independently certified as compliant.
How to verify an umbrella company
- Always check that your umbrella company is registered with HMRC as a PAYE employer.
- Verify they are members of the FCSA (Freelancer & Contractor Services Association).
- Check Companies House for active registration and recent accounts.
- Be wary of umbrella companies that promise unrealistically high take-home pay.
- Ensure holiday pay is being properly accrued and paid.
- Ask for a Key Information Document (KID) before starting work.
