Originally posted by steviecuk View PostHi All,
I'm new to contracting and have just set up a ltd. company for my contracting work.
I'm currently going for a contract but I've been told by the recruitment consultant that I must use their umbrella company.
Can they do this? Are there some contracts which you are unable to use a ltd. company?
Apologies if this is a stupid question, i'm new to this and am just finding my feet.
Many thanks in advance,
Steve.
You do have ultimate power and can refuse the role. I suggest:
1) Talk to them and gain an understanding of why. Your consultant may not be able to give you this answer, their job is to just place you. So seek an answer from their compliance team.
2) If you're not happy with the explanation, challenge but be prepared for them to give the role to someone else that is willing to accept, they have that power.
3) or walk away and find another contract.
