Business Solutions
Instead of dealing with multiple business partners, Pentagon Group can provide you with outsourced support for all 5 key areas of your business: Payroll, Finance, Business Start-up, Business Support and Performance Management
Pentagon Pay (Payroll)
We can provide compliant payroll solutions for all products such as Umbrella, PAYE, Limited Company, CIS and International.
Pentagon Pay can payroll both your internal and external staff through a wide selection of compliant solutions such as Umbrella, PAYE, CIS and outsourced, allowing you to mitigate your employment costs, risks and responsibilities.
We provide transparent, professional and straight forward pay and employment options across multiple sectors, providing full employment rights and support.
Each contractor is assigned an account manager who will look after them during their time working with us. This means that you will not have to answer pay queries or deal with questions about Tax and NI. If you receive any pay related questions from your contractors just ask them to contact their Pentagon account manager.
We are here to support you in any way possible, from early pays to intermediary reporting. On payroll, off payroll, construction workers, IT workers, low paid workers even international workers, whatever the industry or situation we have a compliant solution for you.
We are here to support both your payroll and your ambition.
Pentagon Finance (Cashflow)
We have a network of Invoice Finance providers which ensures that you get the best possible rates and terms. We can also potentially arrange a free credit facility.
At Pentagon Finance we know that Cash-flow can be a challenge. Where-ever you are in the lifecycle of your business from starting up to exponential growth, cash-flow can be key to unlocking your business’s full potential.
Due to our network of relationships Pentagon Finance can recommend and arrange an Invoice Finance facility that provides you with both a high level of service and competitive rates saving you money.
If you are just looking for some flexibility we can also arrange credit facilities for your payroll, meaning you do not need to worry about arranging funds for pay day, we can make payments for you and you can pay us later, taking the pressure off your weekly pay run.
We will also ask vital questions from the providers and look out for things such as:
- Credit Check Process (poorly completed credit checks can put you at risk)
- Sneaky hidden charges
- Length of contract
- Bad debt protection
- Legal and HR support
- Additional fees for accountancy service
- Inexperienced staff who cannot answer your queries

The difference between us and everyone else, is that we will provide you with a truly bespoke training programme, whereas other providers will just recycle the same sales programme, regardless of your requirements.
Initially we will have a consultation to discuss your needs and objectives.
We will then engage and spend time with the current sales team to see how they are currently working
At this point we will outline a sales programme unique to your organisation and present this back to you.
If you are happy with the sales-plan we will put an entire course together for your team.
Most importantly we will keep in contact and follow up with your employees to ensure that they are applying their new skills and exceeding your objectives.
We believe that the follow up is the most important part of the training. Its like driving a car… someone can explain how to do it for days, but you only pass your test when you get behind the wheel!
