Umbrella company in the UK
-
Hi People, Like I suspect many of you are, I'm stepping out of the safe environment of directly employed. Into the shark infested waters of contracting. And as Krusty the clown would say: "I couldn't help it, they drove a dump truck load of money up to my house!" But obviously with becoming the devil's spawn, I need an umbrella company to work through. So can anyone recommend a good one, as well as ones to steer clear of? I'm currently looking at "Liberty Bishop", & "Giant". But other than judging them on the quality of their website, they don't really tell you much... Any advice would be really appreciated! :-\ Alan

Another piece of advice (from experience) is to get a good accounting package that will handle the VAT, PAYE, payables, receivables, etc. This will cut down your accounting costs and take away a lot of the admin headache. I would not recommend Sage - it's ubiquitous in the UK and some accountants encourage you to get it as it suits them, but Sage's marketing skills are much better than their product.

I am the only one thinking about zombies when reading Umbrella company? Too much Resident Evil I think..
