    We charge a fixed fee of £60+VAT with nothing more to pay and we form the company, register with the Revenue, VAT etc, free of charge.

    Nothing, if they do it right. Once more, with feeling....

    Work out how much is your accountant saving you in correct filing of data and calculating correct payments so avoiding interest and penalties (probably £200-ish a year, but last time I tried it was rather more), plus however much time you would need to do it yourself accurately at double your normal rate, since you would be using up your downtime to do it (in my case something like 15 man days a year, or around £15k, and I was an accountant in a former life)

    Nonsense, doesn't even vaguely work like that. Go read the guides again.

    How much more work is it?
    Oooh, shedloads. I must spend an average one hour a week on it....

    alot more work than Umbrella but you will be better off financially. Anyway some umbrella companies can do your invoicing and book keeping for you when you go limited to save you some of the work.

    Precisely - 95% of everything is always going to be more than 95% of everything less 10% fees...
