    Thats fine if thats your belief. I use them and im happy with them.
    I came on here to give my view and experience as a contractor with them not to defend and explain every detail of there set up. Again if you want specific details about there set up contact them direct.
    Sorry, your responses to reasonable (if cynical, we've seen so many ludicrous schemes) questions simply make you look like a sales motivated drone of the company.
    You had a massive credibility hill to climb and so far you've just made this company look like an excessive risk rather than an attractive prospect.

    If you stand back and think about your posts for a few seconds I'm sure you will understand why the responses you've had are entirely negative.

I dont work as a sole trader i will now be ltd again just going through Procorre. Im quite content that they are performing legally and within the law. If they continue as they have over the past year im happy. Like i said i don't really earn more than i did with my ltd company i just have less hassle and now im back as ltd i will be able to get back on the VAT flat rate scheme although quite few companies are not paying it.
    The legislation brought in to stop people using LLP's as a tax avoidance vehicle will apply here at the very least. Also, if they are using credit cards to reimburse your business expenses I am not sure that there wouldn't be a contravention of the MSC legislation.

    Im just telling you guys what i know about it from my experience, if you want exact specific details then contact them and they will email you a full breakdown. I heard about them through Astonmae.
    That's one agency I won't ever be using then. You can tell a lot by the company they keep

    I was self employed through them for the past year and i am now Ltd again. Whilst i was self employed i worked through their umbrella company. My new ltd company will now effectively replace the umbrella.

    If it's the former, then it's no different from working via any employer; if it's the latter there is a huge difference which could explain how you get your 83%.

Thirdly, do you work with recruitment agencies? If so, unless it can be proven that you are not under the supervision, direction and control of the end client you can't work as a sole trader https://www.gov.uk/government/consul...elf-employment

    Could you rewrite that into a sentence that makes vague sense. I've tried doing it 5 times and end up with at least 1 or 2 impossible (or at least utterly implausible) phrases
