Many businesses want to support contractors but don’t want to operate as an umbrella. Compliance, risk, and legislation make umbrella operations complex and high-risk.

Where Businesses Struggle

• IR35 assessments
• Onboarding workers
• Ensuring correct tax & holiday pay
• Managing communications
• Ensuring compliance

A proper support model should:

• Provide onboarding & right-to-work checks
• Provide accurate payments
• Maintain documentation trails
• Reduce admin pressure

Harbour helps businesses support contractors confidently — without umbrella risk.
