Hi all,
I an new to the contracting world and need some information from you experts. I am currently in UK working for a company for an intra company transfer visa and my visa is ending soon, but I will be coming back on dependent student visa of my wife who will do her masters in London. As per my understanding I will not be able to form a Ltd company and will have to do contracting under an umbrella company. My questions are -
1) Is there any difference between the "Job Agency" and "Umbrella Company" ?
2) How much does the "Umbrella Companies" charge ? is it a fixed fee or a percentage ?
3) Does the "Umbrella Company" assist in getting jobs or they are only useful for billing the client for you ?
4) If we see any job opening matching my profile, Do we have to contact them directly or is it via the umbrella company ?
5) Though I will be on student dependent visa and will be eligible to work, but is there any criteria by Job agencies or Clients or Umbrella companies to give contract to specific type of Visas ?
Thanks a lot
