David Patel

My agency has been using Ardent for a while now, and it’s a real change from the usual mess of payroll companies. I’m always paid on time, my statements are always up-to-date and accurate, and they’ve even sorted last-minute payments when my agency missed off some extra hours. Couldn’t be happier.
Emily Johnson

I’ve used Ardent for a few months now, and it’s the smoothest relationship I’ve had with a payroll company. The registration and set-up process was very smooth, their customer service team were always on hand to help with any questions I had, and they made sure I had answers promptly. I’ll be sticking with them for the foreseeable.
Sarah Thompson

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are Ardent Payroll?

Ardent Payroll is a UK-based payroll services provider, specializing in helping businesses manage payroll solutions and compliance with tax regulations. We offer services such as umbrella payroll, PAYE (Pay As You Earn) solutions, and payroll outsourcing for businesses of different sizes across a wide range of sectors, ensuring accurate and efficient payroll processing.

What is umbrella payroll?

Umbrella payroll is a system where a third-party company (the umbrella company) acts as an employer for a contractor or freelancer who is working on temporary or contract-based assignments. The umbrella company processes the worker’s pay, handles tax deductions (like National Insurance and income tax), and ensures compliance with UK tax laws. The contractor typically submits timesheets to the umbrella company, which then invoices the end client.

Why should I outsource my payroll and employer’s responsibilities?

Outsourcing payroll saves time, allowing businesses to focus on core activities while experts handle payroll complexities. It ensures compliance with tax laws, reduces errors, and minimizes the risk of fines. Professional providers stay updated on regulations, offering cost-effective solutions compared to maintaining an in-house payroll team. Overall, outsourcing improves efficiency, reduces risks, and lets businesses focus on growth.

What types of payroll do you offer?

We offer several options, including PAYE for businesses and agencies employing staff, and CIS payroll for construction companies and their subcontractors. We can also offer Limited options for companies that utilise contractors. All options are fully compliant with current UK legislation.
