Champion Retains Umbrella FCSA Accreditation for 2025

Champion is delighted to report that our umbrella business, Champion Contract Services Limited, has retained its FCSA (Freelancer & Contractor Services Association) umbrella company accreditation for a further twelve months.

Following a rigorous compliance audit and assessment, this achievement underlines our unwavering commitment to excellence and compliance within the umbrella company sector.

Why FCSA Accreditation Matters

The FCSA is the UK's leading professional body dedicated to raising standards across the freelancer and contractor services industry.

Being an FCSA-accredited member signifies compliance with UK tax legislation, employment law, and HMRC regulations and adherence to the highest industry standards and ethical best practices.

To achieve FCSA umbrella accreditation, Champion has undergone a stringent audit of its processes, systems, and policies by independent industry experts. The audit process included scrutinizing and testing our payroll systems and processes, ensuring the fair treatment of our contractors, and verifying legal and tax compliance with all UK employment and tax legislation.

FCSA umbrella accreditation demonstrates our commitment to compliance and positions Champion as a leading, trusted, and risk-free provider of umbrella payroll services to the UK's contingent labour market.
