About us

Opening our doors in 2008, Apex was created with the aim of providing an approachable, reliable and cost-effective alternative to the more traditional payroll companies. Since then, we’ve become the partner of choice for thousands of contractors throughout the country, minimising administration and stress whilst optimising their earnings.

Our Services

What we do

As an Umbrella company, we work hard to deliver multiple payroll solutions that suit the contracting industry, ensuring that you’re paid in a fully compliant manner.

We aim to reduce the amount of legwork that you as a contractor have to do by supporting you through our registration process and taking over the invoicing and processing of your payment.

We make sure that all relevant deductions are sent across to HMRC so you don’t have to worry about a thing. In doing so, we ensure you receive your monies hassle free.

Umbrella

Umbrella is our traditional and standard pay model. This payment model is for contractors who full under SDC / single site workers and have no allowable expenses. Designed to be simple and easy to use, Umbrella suits most contractors who carry out assignments for recruitment agencies and/or end clients.

Self-Employed (CIS)

Contractors registered with the HMRC’s Construction Industry Scheme are eligible for our CIS pay model. This provides the freedom of self-employment whilst reducing the administrative aspect self-employed contractors face.

Our Values

What we stand for

A genuinely ethical business, we consider ‘doing the right thing’ far more important than our bottom line.

The following eight words help define Apex, influencing our decisions and making us the payroll company of choice for so many contractors and agencies.

We expect honesty from our contractors, and our contractors can demand the same from us. That’s why you won’t find any hidden costs here at Apex. We’ll be up front with you from the very beginning so you’ll know exactly what to expect.

Why Apex

What makes us different

We’re committed to offering the very best service possible

We support our contractors from the very beginning of the process, guiding you through registration and chasing your pay from the agency. Our Client Liaison Officers are on hand to go through any queries you may have and work hard to resolve any issues that may arise.

We adhere to the highest standards of compliance

Every contractor we pay has to go through our compliance process during registration to ensure they can be paid. This makes sure that 100% of our contractors are 100% compliant.

We guarantee to pay our workers correctly and on time

You work hard and deserve to be paid correctly, on time and with the minimum of fuss. At Apex, we’re dedicated to making sure that happens without fail, each and every week.

We keep it simple, to the point and transparent

We don’t believe that you should have to deal with hidden extra costs or legislation that you weren’t expecting, which is why we are clear upon registration what we charge and what is expected of you.

We promise to respect the confidentiality of our workers

We always ask security questions before we’ll engage with you. If you don’t pass these questions, we won’t give any information out. This helps reduce fraud, safeguarding your information in the process.
