I am planning to move into contracting from September and just wondered which Umbrella agency you seasoned professional contractors would recommend? I have been reading the forums and checking out a couple of sites, but am now so confused as their are about 10 or so agencies that keep coming up, so how do I compare them to make an informed decision about this?

I'm relatively new and looked into it as well, and a Ltd Co. was much the best option unless you're only planning to contract for a few months. (Sorry, that doesn't help with Umbrella choice, but my colleagues who use different umbrellas seem to be happy with Parasol and unhappy with Giant).Originally posted by NQuinn -
If you intend to freelance for any length of time, get yourself your own limited company and a good accountant. I use SJD and they are very good. If you decide that umbrella is best then you could try Contractor Umbrella. They are part of the SJD Group.Rule #76: No excuses. Play like a champion.Comment

Word of advice, use the search facility to check out any previous posts/replies before asking any questions.
You'd be amazed at the number of times the same question has been asked and answered.Comment

Thanks for your advice.
I have read some of the previous posts relating to the same question and found that the responses veered off a little in the wrong direction as everyone was trying to get their 5p worth in.
I got the distinct impression that those responding forget that they too were at one time oblivious to the workings of the contract world!Comment
