TRUST THE GUILD.
The Guild has been at the vanguard of status compliance for 25 years and stands between clients and HMRC. Our in-house legal, tax and compliance teams can ensure that all employment status issues are dealt with compliantly, removing the commercial risks associated with engaging self-employed workers.
Not your everyday compliance service.
Your subcontractors earn more and you improve your bottom line
Our calculations show that subcontactors can earn up to 25% more on average when compared with umbrella employees or those on PAYE contracts. Your company also saves thousands on employment costs, at £0 cost to your business.
Attract and retain talent to gain an edge over competitors
Businesses contracting their workforce through The Guild often experience significant growth in their team size due to the higher pay they can offer. You’re able to leap over competitors by attracting industry-leading talent as workers capable of self-employment earn more as Guild subcontractors.
You’re 100% protected against status risk and IR35 risk
Being an intermediary, The Guild inserts itself into the contractual chain during payment and assumes all tax status risk and CIS payroll responsibility for your subcontractors. All clients are indemnified, and our risk is insured.
We handle status compliance and payrolls so you don’t have to
After onboarding, your team no longer needs to submit invoices (to you or us). Should you want greater control, you can track and handle payments through our online portal.
The Guild has been trusted by over 1000+ businesses and counting
10,000+ subcontractors paid weekly
No late payments
£420+ million yearly turnover

Our simple onboarding process

You’ll get to speak to one of our legal experts who will offer you a tailored solution for your business. You can then provide us with details of the people you want to onboard as subcontractors. It’s 100% free and there’s 0% pressure.
Status Assessment
Our friendly team will ask your subcontractors a few questions about the nature of their work so we can ensure they’re able to receive The Guild stamp of approval. We’re not an umbrella, so all people contracted through us are treated as genuine subcontractors.
Ready for Payment
We now get to update you with the good news: your team are onboarded and ready for payment. Time to start raking in some major savings.
Invoicing & Payment
Once you let us know who we need to pay and when they need to be paid, we’ll handle the rest. Since we put ourselves in the payment chain, The Guild takes on all status risk and deals with all the taxing legal stuff. You get to focus on your projects without a care in the world.
The Guild is for businesses looking to …
- Improve their bottom line and their workforce’s pay at £0 cost
- Maximise their ability to attract and retain industry-leading talent
- Contract directly with subcontractors but wish to remove status risk
