1. What is Regal Umbrella and how does it work?

Regal Umbrella is a trusted UK umbrella payroll provider that employs contractors and freelancers, managing all PAYE, tax, and National Insurance on their behalf. You simply submit your timesheet, and once your agency or client pays us, we process your payroll and transfer your net pay directly into your personal bank account — quickly and securely.

2. Who can use Regal Umbrella?

Our service is ideal for first-time contractors, short-term workers, freelancers inside IR35, or anyone who prefers a simple and compliant way to get paid without running their own limited company.

3. How quickly will I get paid?

We process payments on the same day that funds are received from your agency or client. Our Faster Payments system ensures that, in most cases, your money reaches your bank account within hours — at no extra cost.
