Choice of Umbrella Company

[loinguy]

Hi Guys,

Need some advice. I am working with a company right now and they are not letting me work under my Own Limited Copany or through a Umbrella Company of my choice.

I can only work for them through an umbrella Company called : OrangeGenie, who charges about £110/month for their administration and also do the Payslips in a very unique and difficult way.

When I asked the company to let me change the Umbrella company, they refused to do it.

Please advice. Thanks

What is it with this Genie ? It's like a recurring nightmare, try over in General just ask for Northern Lad and tell him I sent you.

Assuming this is genuine, then you have two choices:

1 - Go with Orange Genie and stick with the client.

2 - Go with someone else and move to a different client.

I've never heard of a client refusing to deal with a limited company - I presume that they force all their suppliers to go through an umbrella.....

In such situations when the client wants something that costs more than you'd like to spend increase your rate to compensate.

£110 / 160 hours per month = increase rate by 70p per hour. Payslips are now costing the client not you.
