Recruitment & staffing
Formation, VAT and payroll for recruitment agencies and umbrellas
A staffing business is a payroll business with a sales team attached. The company has to be right on the register before the first placement, the VAT and PAYE set-up has to be in place before the first invoice, and the weekly payroll has to be flawless every week after that. We do the first two and We Switch does the third.
What you get
The paperwork that stops you, in the order it has to happen
Company formation done right
The right SIC codes, officers and PSC register, so client onboarding checks and factoring providers see a clean record.
VAT before the first invoice
Agencies pass the threshold quickly. Prepared by us and submitted from your own Gateway with us on the call, so the number arrives before the invoices do.
PAYE scheme and payroll migration
Scheme set up, or your existing payroll moved across in one cycle, without you lifting a finger. Through We Switch Payroll.
Weekly payroll, RTI and auto-enrolment
Temp workers paid weekly with RTI on or before payday and pension eligibility assessed every run, which is what variable hours require.
Register hygiene as you grow
Director changes, PSC changes and confirmation statements filed on time. Client due diligence teams read the public record.
Gateway and access recovery
If the previous bookkeeper walked off with the logins, we recover the Government Gateway before it costs you a filing.
Straight answers
Common questions
We are starting an agency. What has to exist before we bill?
The company, a bank account in its name, a VAT registration if you will pass the threshold in year one, a PAYE scheme for the temps, and a payroll provider that can file RTI weekly. We set up the first four and We Switch runs the fifth.
Can you move our payroll mid-year?
Yes. We Switch migrates from your current provider in one pay cycle, carries the year-to-date figures across and files RTI from the first run.
Our confirmation statement still shows a director who left last year. Does it matter?
Yes. Every client due diligence check reads that record, and confirming a statement you know to be wrong is a problem in itself. We correct the officer list first, then file.
Starting or scaling an agency?
Tell us where you are. We will list what has to exist before the first invoice, and what We Switch takes off you after it.
Book a call
Send us what you have. Even a photo.
A short call, no pressure. We check the public register before we speak to you, so we can tell you what is actually due, what it will cost if it is left, and which of it we can take off your desk this week.
