Parasol was setup by a former contractor, Rob Crossland, who built the business around his in-depth understanding of the contracting lifestyle. In 2000, he set out with the goal of helping contractors and freelancers make the most of their money whilst minimising the hassle involved with self-employment.

Twenty years, and over 100,000 happy contractors later, we still operate under the same guiding principles. Our dedication to always do what’s right, not what’s easy, is something we’re proud of and something that sets us apart from the other contractor support providers.

Support that's second to none

With hundreds of expert head office staff, we are passionate about excellent support and dedicated to ensuring you always get paid on time and in full.

And, after all these years, we know all legislative and compliance regulations inside out.

Don't just take our word for it

We partner with over 3,000 recruitment agencies, including leading companies like Hays, Search, Venn and Reed, all of whom trust us implicitly with the contractors they refer to us.

Benefits included as standard

Relax knowing you’re covered for up to £20 million of insurance including employer’s liability, professional indemnity and public liability.

Plus, make significant savings with some of the biggest names on the high street through our dedicated rewards platform.

Set up in under 10 minutes

There are a variety of benefits to joining an umbrella company. You will enjoy the same protections and benefits as any other employee but have the freedom of being a contractor.

Reduced Stress

Setting up as a limited company is widely considered to be the most tax-efficient way of working. You can take earnings from the business as a combination of salary and dividends – reducing your overall tax liability.

Financial Support

Benefit from the advice of qualified experts to ensure you're ensuring you and your family are covered through pensions, government schemes and insurances

Simplicity

Never miss out on claiming back expenditures you make for your business by understanding everything that you can and can't claim for.

Flexibility

Having that Limited (LTD) next to your name affords you a level of respect and opens your business opportunity pool for who can/will work with you. Plus, helps when it comes to your exit strategy
