Parasol is an award winning contractor PAYE Umbrella Company that has been up and running since 2000 when a contractor himself, Rob Crossland, decided to found an organisation that was specifically geared to the needs of contractors and particularly relevant for those doing interim work in the NHS, Local Government, MOD and other areas of the Public Sector.

He therefore started a company that specifically allowed interims and freelancers working in the Public Sector to get on with what they enjoyed doing best – working. While Parasol, using the best tax, legal, payroll, credit control, sales and customer support specialists in the business, took care of everything else - including all invoicing, tax and NI management. The result is an industry first - interims getting the best service and highly attractive net pay returns after tax and costs.

With the Government currently ploughing money into infrastructure projects, there are currently many opportunities in the Public Sector for those in contractor services. So whether you’re a Public Sector professional or a specialist in Housing, Social Work, HR or IT, take a look at our PAYE calculator and discover what your take-home pay as a Parasol umbrella contractor could be. Then sign up today with Parasol - a UK umbrella company founded by someone with first-hand experience of contracting.
