Thanks for the recommendation! I contacted them and got in touch with Lucy directly who was very helpful and put my mind at ease. If everything goes smoothly with my client then I'll be using Contractor Umbrella for this contract.

Without yours and others advice I would've really struggled to figure out the best way to approach this opportunity, so thanks again!

Are you soliciting work for an umbrella company or an agency?

Trying to tout for business on this forum is a very quick way to get roasted and permabanned. Good luck!

Does your solution work through an Isle of Man company with an office in Dublin, or a Dublin company with an office in the Isle of Man?

Have the current 2 directors of your company had over 90 directorships between them in Ireland?
