Your agency/client cannot pay you as an individual - you must have Limited Company Status.
Filetravel Overseas Limited provides this in a very economical way through the umbrella company system. This means that instead of having the trouble of setting up your own company and the attendant running costs - upon registering with Filetravel you would be allotted, via a nominee, one or more shares in our profit distribution company which will enable you to receive all or part of your remuneration in the form of a dividend. This allows a considerable economy of scale in that the company management charges can be widely spread and has the benefit of enabling us to keep our monthly service fee down to a very competitive £200 FIXED per month (excluding Professional Indemnity cover and money transmission fees).

After registration with us which is very easy through our website at www.filetraveloverseas.com or by email we contact the agency or client who is providing the contract in order to help with any administration and we will sign the contract as nominee for the contractor if required. We are then ready to invoice the agency or client as soon as the first work period details have been notified to us by the contractor by email, fax or phone. As long as we receive these details by no later than 4.45pm we undertake to get the invoice to the client the same day.

When the agency or client has paid the invoice and we have cleared effects we undertake to process the payment to the contractor by the quickest possible means. To this end we operate an electronic money transfer system, in any currency, provided by one of the major clearing banks.

WE DO NOT PAY YOUR TAXES - these are your responsibility. We can however recommend sources of tax advice, in most jurisdictions upon request.

In response to demand from agencies, clients and contractors we now provide Professional Indemnity Cover. This is a compulsory provision for which there is a monthly charge of £12.00 which will be deducted with the normal monthly fee from payments received from your agency. The only occasions when this will not be charged is when the agency/client contract confirms that adequate cover is provided.
