Working with Umbrella Companies – What you need to know

Genie works with talent who invoice via a Ltd company or via an accredited Umbrella Company (non-UK talent can invoice through their local business set up). 

For talent who are Sole Traders and considering or have chosen to be paid via an umbrella company then it’s essential to be clear about what this means in terms of benefits and drawbacks. 

Genie works with Granite to deliver a Member Payment Service (Genie-MPS) accepted by all clients who work with Genie.
