I was advised to use an umbrella due to the shortness of the initial contract and the fact that HMRC are suspicious if a company stops trading after 3 months.
The US client would be reluctant to offer any more than a 3 month contract initially.

Originally posted by mjdenham View PostI have been offered a contract from a US company to work remotely in the UK. The initial contract is for 3 months with a probable extension for a further year.
I was advised to start off using an umbrella company for the first 3 months. However, the umbrella company I have gone with say their insurance won't cover a US contract.
The umbrella company's insurers said that if the contract with the US firm states that it is governed by UK law and the work is completed in the UK then this would be fine, but there is nothing about UK law on the contract and the US company seem reluctant to change it.
Is there a UK umbrella company, or possibly just an insurer, that is suitable for a contract from a US company?
Thanks

Who advised you to use an umbrella company?
My advice would be to follow the advice of JamesBrown in your last thread http://forums.contractoruk.com/accou...s-company.html and go PAYE with them....Last edited by eek; 18 July 2017, 18:49.
