I've been looking around and I will be going limited after reading about, umbrellas seem to be for the lazy.

If you want to go Ltd, both SJD Accounting and Nixon Williams make the whole thing relatively painless.

WHS - and it would be interesting to understand why you chose umbrella over Ltd when there's a significant net income disadvantage. (Hint: "too much paperwork" is not a reason, nor is "I am IR35 caught" if only because you probably aren't)

Hi all,

I am new to the contracting world and have spent hours searching the net on the good old limited VS umbrella.

being new to it all I have gone for the Umbrella option, but need some advise on who is best to use? there are lots of organisations out there. do their service's differ? and how much should I be paying?

I see companys out there for £15 a wk.... but lets be honest, are they worth it? I dont mind paying extra to get the best out of the system... but I dont want to give all my wage up :-)

thanks
Paul

Hello and welcome to cuk!

I know you said you spent hours searching the net - but have you visited http://forums.contractoruk.com/accounting-legal/ and looked at the sticky threads?

Have a look and then ask some questions.

All the Best
