01245 493832The Bespoke Payroll Solution for the Construction Industry
EEBS have been helping the Construction Industry for 20 years
The aim of the business then, and now is to help construction firms remain both compliant with their employment and tax responsibilities in relation to their use of self-employed sub-contractors, and to remain commercially competitive. Since we went into business, we have constantly updated our business model, contracts and operating procedures in response to the ever-changing regulatory landscape.
We continue to invest significant time, money and expertise into our business to ensure that we can offer clients bespoke arrangements that give clients robust, HMRC compliant solutions which have never been challenged by the tax authorities, and includes a 100% guarantee to protect clients, and their businesses from the threats they face in order to maintain a compliant workforce and a competitive edge.
Our Guarantee
EEBS shoulder the full legal responsibility for the self-employed subcontractors we supply to you – providing you with complete peace of mind and allowing you the freedom to choose the workforce that you want. During 20 plus years of business, we have had over 40 clients inspected by HMRC whilst using our services. Not
once has our business model (and therefore our client) ever been challenged, proving to be 100% HMRC compliant.
If after a status investigation HMRC were to challenge our arrangements, or if a sub-contractor were to take you to an employment tribunal whilst being supplied by us, we will manage the entire process for you, with full legal support. If we were to lose the case (and to date we have never lost a case), we would pay all the associated costs. That is the EEBS 100% compliance guarantee for your construction business.
“We specialise in working with small to medium contractors to help them retain as much commercial flexibility as legislation allows, and avoid unnecessary costs.”

“We are confident that we can rely on EEBS to keep us up to date with any changes and ensure we continue to comply.”
Christine Shearing, Kenwood Groundworks
"J&J Windows & Doors Limited have been using EEBS Limited to pay my colleagues and I for over 6 months and I can quite honestly say that the service EEBS provides is superb! It allows me to remain self-employed, they ensure that I'm verified with HMRC, that my CIS tax is calculated correctly and most importantly that my wages are always paid correctly and on time. I would without a doubt recommend EEBS to friends, family, and colleagues."
James Last, J&J Windows & Doors
“I can call on EEBS when required without the worrying of being tied into an agreement.”
Peter James, Pete’s Landscaping
"We have used EEBS for our wage processing for around 3 years now. We were unhappy with the previous company as they felt 'too big' and did not provide a personal service at all. I am extremely happy with EEBS and can honestly say all their staff are pleasant, conscientious and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I cannot recommend EEBS enough, they thoroughly earn their (reasonable) fees and enable us to focus on more commercial and day to day aspects of running our company."
Ally Din
"We have used EEBS for 7 years now and we cannot fault their service. They keep us up to date with new legislation and regularly carry out compliance reviews. Their staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the processing rates are fair."
Ceilidh Embling
"We have used EEBS for 4 months now and what a delightful team. Toni & Colette have been nothing but "BRILLIANT" They have bent over backwards to resolve queries and are always at the end of the telephone... Thank you EEBS for being FANTASTIC!"
Dee Nathwani
