Welcome to Liberty Bishop

Umbrella Companies - what are they and why do you need one?

As a contractor you’ll find that most agencies and clients will require you to bill them as a limited company - and for most contractors that means using an Umbrella Company.

An Umbrella Company handles all the legal and accounting work for you - including avoiding potential tax problems created by something called IR35. By using a reliable provider such as Liberty Bishop you reduce the administrative hassle of being self-employed and save money.

The Liberty Bishop Solution

Liberty Bishop provides an HM Revenue & Customs compliant umbrella company solution. This lets you bill your services via our limited company and provides a complete accounting service for contractors working both in the UK and internationally.

All of this means you can concentrate on your contract and sleep well at night, knowing our umbrella company has all the accounting stuff covered – reliably, efficiently and above all legally.

Been let down by other companies?
