Established in 2010, umbrellacompanies.org.uk has become known as one of the most reliable sources of umbrella company information on the web. With over 1,500 pages and articles, the site is overflowing with helpful content for the UK’s temporary workforce, covering all things related to umbrellas.

The content on umbrellacompanies.org.uk is designed to be insightful and educational for our readers. However, the underlying tone of all our content is evident – to promote compliant umbrella companies and to highlight the many reasons why a contractor or freelancer should never engage with an unethical tax avoidance scheme or non-compliant umbrella company. We are not associated with the FSCA or Professional Passport, but we respect these bodies as they are trying to promote compliance within the umbrella marketplace.

In September 2020, umbrellacompanies.org.uk was taken over by Informed Media (now Informed Media Limited, registered in 2023). Our team has transformed the site from an outdated platform with hundreds of broken links to a modern and attractive umbrella company encyclopaedia. Since we took ownership, the site has grown month-on-month and has experienced exceptional growth on Google and other popular search engines – regularly popping up in position zero for umbrella-related search queries.

Every day, the site receives hundreds of visitors from our target audience (temporary workers in the UK) and we often reach over 6,000 and 7,000 visitors every month – with this figure growing rapidly.

The reputation of umbrellacompanies.org.uk is continuing to grow within the sector. Recently, we were delighted to feature an exclusive Q&A with the FCSA’s CEO, Chris Bryce, to discuss the potential government regulations heading towards the umbrella company sector. Numerous prestigious industry stakeholders, including IT Contracting and Contractor Voice, have also linked to our content.

There have recently been many exciting developments on the umbrellacompanies.org.uk website. For example, we have recently built an umbrella company directory that is entirely free for FCSA and Professional Passport accredited umbrellas to advertise. We have also added a forum to the site to encourage contractor-to-contractor engagement. Also, we recently launched a brand-new YouTube Channel which hosts over a dozen short and snappy videos which answer the most frequently asked questions about umbrella companies.

So what do we have lined up for the future? The honest answer – a lot.

We’re keen to continue adding multiple articles every week to ensure our loyal readers are updated with the latest industry activities. We will also add improved features for users to request take-home pay calculations. One area that we are very keen to develop is guest content. While our in-house team is up to speed on the latest goings-on in the sector, it would be wonderful to feature more guest content from accredited umbrella companies – to clear up any confusing or much-debated topics such as holiday pay. We also plan to continue adding videos to our website (hosted via our YouTube Channel), develop the free directory, promote the umbrella company forum, and more!

Thank you for expressing your interest in advertising with umbrellacompanies.org.uk. We look forward to the prospect of working with your umbrella company, and promoting your compliant payroll services.
