Why choose an Umbrella Company?

The contractor life beckons with its flexibility and control. But let’s be honest, navigating the world of payments, taxes, and paperwork can feel overwhelming. Enter Focused, the umbrella company you can rely on, here to simplify your contractor journey by offering prompt and accurate payment, without fail.

No unexpected tax bills

We handle your income tax and National Insurance contributions, ensuring everything is paid correctly, avoiding any surprise tax bills at the end of the year. Breathe easy – Focused has you covered.

Full employment rights

Just because you work in in the contracting world, doesn’t mean you should miss out on the good stuff! Working through an umbrella company means you still get access to statutory benefits like sick pay, and maternity/paternity pay.

Saving for your future

All umbrella companies will provide access to a workplace pension plan but with Focused you can save even more by contributing into a personal pension of your choice via salary sacrifice, 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.

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.
