Why Focused is your umbrella of choice
The contractor life beckons with its flexibility and control. But let’s be honest, navigating the world of payments, taxes, and paperwork can feel like a boss battle with way too many levels. Enter Focused, your friendly neighbourhood umbrella company – here to simplify your contractor journey and empower you to focus on what you do best.
Ditch the invoice juggling
No more chasing invoices from multiple clients! Focused’s umbrella company streamlines your payments. Simply submit your timesheets, and we handle everything – invoicing, collecting payments, and ensuring you get paid on time. Think of it as a single, reliable income stream, so you can focus on your work and you, not chasing payments.
Tax time? No problem!
We know tax season isn’t exactly everyone’s favourite time. Focused takes the stress out of the equation. We handle your income tax and National Insurance contributions, ensuring everything is compliant and avoids any surprise tax bills at the end of the year. Breathe easy – Focused has your back.
Benefits you deserve
Just because you work in in the contracting world, doesn’t mean you should miss out on the good stuff! Focused offers benefits typically associated with traditional jobs, like sick pay, holiday pay, and even maternity/paternity leave. This provides a valuable safety net and a sense of security.
Saving for your future
Focused offers not only a workplace pension scheme but also Salary Sacrifice for payments into a personal pension of your choice, saving you hundreds or thousands in tax and National Insurance.
Protection when you need It most
Accidents happen, and unexpected situations arise. Focused offers you peace of mind with potential insurance coverage for professional indemnity, public liability, and employer’s liability. This protects you from financial losses due to mistakes or legal issues, so you can focus on delivering exceptional work without worry.
More time for your passion
Managing contracts, paperwork, and ever-changing regulations can be a real burden. Focused takes care of these administrative tasks, freeing up your valuable time and energy. Imagine the possibilities! Spend more time finding great projects, honing your skills, or simply enjoying a healthy work-life balance. Focused lets you focus on your passion, not paperwork.
Flexibility stays intact
Joining Focused doesn’t mean giving up your flexibility. You can still work with different clients on various projects, expanding your network and exploring diverse opportunities. Focused empowers your journey with a reliable foundation, not restrictions.
