Umbrella Companies - Any Recommendations?

[nick w]

I am in the process of negotiating an Inside IR35 contract.

The 3 umbrella companies which the agency has mentioned are:
Parasol
Paystream
Workwell

Parasol are being torn apart in the news, but the other 2 haven't had great feedback either from some of the online reviews. Any other recommendations

Thanks

If only there was a whole forum section on this eh?

Workwell is the formally JSA I think and from what I've seen, there's been some questioning regarding holiday pay there.

No issues with Paystream from what I can see.

I will always review their TrustPilot for a decision

And a search method to find the posts from every new insider asking the same question.

OP - Use the google search as this has been asked multiple times.

Go to google. Type in <umbrella name> site:forums.contractoruk.com and it will return every thread where that umbrella is mentioned. If you want to narrow it down to just the umbrella section of the forum then use <umbrella name> site:forums.contractoruk.com/umbrella-companies/

Play around with the keywords if you get a lot of guff. Something like <umbrella name> recommendation or <umbrella name> agent PSL and so on.

What you should try first is tell them you want to go with Clarity Umbrella and can they put them on their PSL. They'll probably grumble so go speak to Lucy at Clarity and she will speak to the agency to try get on their PSL. If she gets on it then Clarity is your best choice.
