    Cheapest isn't always best. Search the boards as I'm sure that this question has already been asked on here before.

      Well, looks like there is no other option. But I am half minded, do not want to take all that hassel of filing papers and calculations.

      Will search for a decent umbralla. If I can find one that charges ~100 a year without hidden charges, will settle with them for sure. at least I can trust them.

        For that price I expect that you'll probably be sorting out your own insurance..........

          It really isn't much hassle at all providing you get organised. But, horses for courses, etc.

            Seriously though, I would want to know what you would expect from an umbrella company for £100 a year??

              Exactly how stupid are you?

              £100 a year for an umbrella? The insurances they give you cost at least twice that for starters.

              Do you seriously expect to find an umbrella that charges £8.33 a month? Muppet

                There is a complete list of umbrella companies with charges on Wikipedia.

                At least one I can find, which is charging at 10 pounds per month. They also have 5 years free trial period.

                look up the wiki or Search Ganumbra on Google.

                  Now I understand.

                  hiteshg joins the forum with a hypothetical story of a contractor who earns £125 per day. By some magical coincidence, this hypothetical £125 a day is the same amount the example contractor on the Ganumbra website is quoted as earning.

                  After a couple of days complaining about how expensive umbrella companies are, and how he's going to go and find one that costs less that £100 a year, we have the magical appearance of cbhuliyar. He tells us all about an umbrella called Ganumbra who will apparently act as an umbrella for £10 a month but let you have the first 5 years for free.

                  Funnily enough, Ganumbra was only registered at Companies House 2 weeks ago.

                  I call bullsh*t, the pair of you can go somewhere else.

                      I give you some credit, the long build up to your advertisment was pretty good, but really, do you think we're that stupid?
