Sometimes running your business will call for other services besides accountancy. Yet you don’t always know who to go to. But you do know it’s easier to use a company recommended by someone you trust. At Simply Contracting, we work alongside other niche service providers so we can always point you in the right direction.

Your company is normally required to hold Public and Employer's Liability Insurances. Your contracts will detail the levels at which you need them. You may also be required to hold Professional Indemnity Insurance and may also wish to consider other insurances such as Permanent Health Insurance, Accident and Sickness Insurance and so on.
Here are one or two people who might be able to help - it's not an exhaustive list, just a guide. You can source insurance cover from any insurance company, broker or underwriter within the UK commercial market place.

I have been involved in self employed contract working for more than 20 years for many different companies in various parts of the world. In this time I have been self employed, limited company, SC 60, and 714 certificated. With all of these ‘systems’ I have had many issues with the problems of invoices, payment, and the very time consuming process of accounting for my wages, tax payments, VAT , expenses etc. Over the years it has caused me a great deal of concern, time and worry that I did not need, especially when I was working away from home.
If I have any questions or any other reasons to contact the office, I have always found the staff very helpful and polite and they have always explained and given answers that even I can understand. It suits me to sit back and have my accountancy service take care of the part of self employment that I do not enjoy.

I have been with Simply Contracting for several years and I have always received fantastic service. Even bearing that in mind, the service levels I have received lately, through some very trying times, has been absolutely outstanding. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and although the girls probably physically recoil when they see my name on any of their “to do” sheets – I always get a first class job delivered in the most personable of manners. No question ever goes unanswered – unless I am asked it! Folk usually only give feedback when things go wrong, but I think it is worthwhile to recognise excellence also – the service I receive is excellent. Thanks, and long may it continue.

I am completely happy with the service Simply Contracting are providing to me. Everything has happened as it should. When I have had queries (which are more about me building up my knowledge of the finance side) they have been answered quickly and accurately, even when the person the e-mail was addressed to was away. I think the service offers good value for money so I am pleased that I went with my colleague's recommendation to use yourselves.
