Agency Umbrella Services
Partner with Trafalgar Umbrella to safeguard your reputation, reduce risk, and enhance your value to clients.
Add Value. Reduce Risk.
Partner with Trafalgar Umbrella.
You need a partner in your corner who you can trust to stay ahead of IR35, employment law, and HMRC regulations. That’s Trafalgar Umbrella. We take the burdens of PAYE and Compliance off your shoulders by providing a fully compliant and hassle-free umbrella payroll service. Trafalgar Umbrella ensures contractors are paid accurately and on time, while keeping you and your clients protected from risk.
Get Ahead of Legislative Change
Evolving legislation and increasing scrutiny around employment status and tax compliance adds another layer of complexity to recruitment. Furthermore, from April 2026, the responsibility – and liability – for PAYE compliance shifts primarily to recruitment agencies/end clients, making risk management a top priority.
It is therefore critical to ensure you rid your supply chain of non-compliant providers, and instead choose Accredited, Compliant & Trusted Umbrella Companies such as Trafalgar Umbrella. We’ve been working with contractors and agencies for a quarter of a century. Our FCSA, IIP & ISO9001 accreditations are testament to our stellar reputation. We’ll keep your supply chain watertight.
We Love The Jobs You Hate
Unleash Your Global Talent
Our payroll expertise isn’t just limited to the United Kingdom either. With Trafalgar International, our global EOR (Employer of Record) solution, we can facilitate employment solutions for your contractors in over 60 territories worldwide.
So, whether you’d like to say Hello, Bonjour or Konnichiwa to global talent, Trafalgar International should be your next port of call.
Flexible Payment Terms to Help Your Contractors (and Your Cash Flow...)
We recognise that the balance between paying your contractors quickly and maintaining a positive cash flow is a tricky one. Sometimes, the payment terms that satisfy your contractors simply aren’t suitable for your agency. There are even times when a contractor needs paying but the funds just aren’t there!
With Trafalgar SalaryNow, we pay your contractors as soon as they submit an authorised timesheet. There’s no waiting, no delays, and you don’t have to pay us upfront. So, help the retention and satisfaction of your contractors while keeping your finances flexible.
