The business

Addition+ operates across multiple sectors, supporting a wide range of clients and contractor needs. With varying compliance demands and increasing complexity in the off-payroll landscape, they needed an umbrella partner they could trust to operate ethically, efficiently and to the highest standard.

By partnering with Giant, Addition+ gained that confidence by working with a provider that not only understood the regulatory environment but also delivered with speed, integrity and a human touch.

The challenge

Working across multiple industries meant that Addition+ was handling a diverse contractor base with different needs, expectations and compliance risks. The team required a partner that could manage these complexities while offering consistency, especially in the face of evolving IR35 legislation and heightened regulatory scrutiny.

In short, they needed a provider who could handle the parts they couldn’t, with the right people, processes and professionalism to match.

The solution

Giant became Addition+’s go-to umbrella partner, providing fully compliant support to contractors while reducing internal workload for the agency. The partnership was built on trust, shared values and a strong commitment to ethical operations.

Speed and reliability
Contractors were onboarded quickly, with clear communication and dependable payment processes that ensured minimal disruption and maximum satisfaction.
