We are fully committed to the co-operative values and principles to ensure that everything we do benefits our members, our customers and the wider business community which we serve. But more than that, we aim to provide an umbrella which is 100% compliant and which provides exceptional service to contractors and recruiters alike.

“Providing A Brand And A Service That Everyone Can Trust”

As former contractors ourselves, we understand the challenges you face and the many pitfalls that you need to avoid that are not always immediately apparent when talking to an Umbrella company.

Our services remove all your anxiety and stress by providing you with hassle free income payments in line with current legislation, meaning transparent and consistent levels of service, getting things right first time, every time.

Contractor Corner Accounting Ltd. was recreated, rebranded, and relaunched in 2019 specifically to help contractors, agencies and end-user clients with the expected changes to IR35 in the Private Sector. When HMRC decided to widen the scope of the way IR35 currently controls work in the public sector, panic hit the whole market leaving everybody upset and confused.

We have a fantastic legal and compliance team that can help with contracts, compliance, and legislation for everyone concerned. We'll even offer our agency and end-user clients a full indemnity against a tax bill for any of our contractors.

Contractor registration can be done simply and securely via our portal and at the worker’s own convenience.

We don't believe that our contractors should have to spend time chasing payments and timesheets. That's our job and, if we're late with a payment, and it's our fault, the contractor doesn't pay a fee.

Some might say we were crazy to start an Umbrella with the sector being as swamped as it is but these are unprecedented times and we are perfectly placed to get it right first time.

Established in 2008, Orbital has gone on to become a recognised payroll provider within the temporary worker sector and gaining our full FCSA accreditation in 2019, is another step on our journey and development.

Our largest operating sectors remain construction and rail operatives, although we also operate in education, healthcare, driving and engineering. Over the years we have evolved with the constant changes in our industry and in line with the ever-moving target of HMRC compliance to offer a one-stop-shop of contractor’s payroll options including CIS/Non-CIS sole trader, Umbrella PAYE and PSC/Limited.

Why are we different to the rest? We take pride in our integrity and prioritise good, honest customer service with the same respect for everyone at every level. We have senior staff members who have a background in both blue and white collar recruitment, so we have been on the ‘agency’ side of the fence and we understand what it takes.

Other benefits include:

5* Industry credentials – besides FCSA we are also Professional Passport approved, PRISM members, APSCo affiliates and a TEAM service provider. Multilingual staff – we have members of staff who can communicate in various languages including Polish, Romanian, Portuguese and Spanish. Proactive Right to Work in the UK checks – we do perform the required checks thoroughly and know how to spot counterfeit documentation. Ask us for a second opinion or help with your process. GDPR Ready – updated policies and procedures were in place before May 25th, 2018. Independent provider – no links to other agencies, no conflict of interest. 24/7 online portal – to submit expense claims, view payslips and update details. Advance payments for late timesheets – up to Friday PM at no extra cost. Orbital Rewards – offers high street savings and discounts for PAYE employees.
