Setting up a an Interim

Check out our Interim Manager Resource Centre.

Here you can get information and forms to help you set up as an Interim manager.

Setting up your own limited Company

Most career interims have their own limited companies set up. It is possible to set up a limited company in only a few days at little cost.

Specialist company formation businesses exist to help you with this process. We would strongly recommend that you also get advice from a qualified accountant to advise you on your directors responsibilities with respect to your limited company, IR35 legislation, PAYE/NI and VAT.

Insurances

As an interim manager you will be expected to have the relevant insurances in place before embarking on any assignments.

Amounts can vary depending on the clients requirements but typically interim managers will have between £1-2m cover for both professional indemnity and public liability.

There are many providers out there and in our Interim Manager Resource Centre you will find a list. Although this is not an exhaustive list this should help to get you started.

Umbrella Companies

An umbrella company is in simple terms an outsourcing of your payroll.

Rather than having the cost and hassle of setting up your own limited company you can work via an Umbrella Company.

If you go this route you will not require individual insurance policies as these will be covered by the Umbrella company.

With an umbrella company solution:

You would not be a director nor have the responsibilities associated with running a limited company.
The umbrella company provider would take care of all accountancy and taxation matters and also deal with all administration matters.
You would need to complete time-sheets and forward them to the umbrella company, who would then invoice Langley Interim Management.

There are many umbrella companies offering a range of services.

Many of our interim managers have worked through Giant group, Competex and also Liberty Bishop however there are many to choose from so research these well.

How Langley Interims help organisations achieve business objectives?

Langley Interim Management is a dedicated resource that offers organisations the opportunity to meet defined business objectives – within specific time-scales and budgets.

The primary focus is across Procurement and Supply Chain projects that typically last between 3 - 6 months, but can be extended by agreement. Our dedicated team are experts in their field which ensures swift and accurate delivery in meeting the clients’ requirements.

The majority of interims are overqualified for the roles that they do and this enables them to deliver projects efficiently, bringing forward their insights and significant experience for the benefit of the client. By recruiting a more senior Procurement or Supply Chain professional into the business there is more likelihood of them making more of an impact especially if the remit is a change programme.

Interim Managers can also prove a practical and cost-effective solution for discrete 'one-off' projects. By being ‘parachuted’ into an organisation, Interim Managers provide an unbiased view and are often able to identify simple solutions that may not so easily be seen by the business previously.

Langley Search and Selection operate under a no risk policy whereby each of our Interim Managers go through a comprehensive pre-qualification process and have been tried and tested.
