One last point, the iser at IP 155.198.137.239 updated the Wikipedia page 27 times in the last week, arranging and re-arranging the list of ubmrella companies so that they are ordered with Ganumbra at the top of the list.
It's an ICL IP address (Imperial College London?)

At least one I can find, which is charging at 10 pounds per month. They also have 5 years free trial period.
look up the wiki or Search Ganumbra on Google.Originally posted by hiteshg View PostThanks a lot huliyar, 10 pouds is wonderful, I am hopeful.. send me the link...

Interestingly for a company that is only two weeks old (23rd June), they have a few testimonials on the site already.
For what it's worth Ganumbra is registered to the 24 year old Indian National Mrs Akhila Shekhar (Software Engineer) of Hounslow with "offices" at the physical address of a formation company.
Interestingly though there are 1000 shares in the company and Mrs Shekhar has only one of them. No idea who gets the divis on the other 999?
They offer a free service, so I suppose you pays your money and takes your chance.

A new company that goes to voicemail... not a good start.
I only phoned to find out how they are financing five years free payroll....

Now I understand.
hiteshg joins the forum with a hypothetical story of a contractor who earns £125 per day. By some magical coincidence, this hypothetical £125 a day is the same amount the example contractor on the Ganumbra website is quoted as earning.
After a couple of days complaining about how expensive umbrella companies are, and how he's going to go and find one that costs less that £100 a year, we have the magical appearance of cbhuliyar. He tells us all about an umbrella called Ganumbra who will apparently act as an umbrella for £10 a month but let you have the first 5 years for free.
Funnily enough, Ganumbra was only registered at Companies House 2 weeks ago.
I call bullsh*t, the pair of you can go somewhere else.Last edited by DiscoStu; 9 July 2009, 13:49.

£100 a year for an umbrella? The insurances they give you cost at least twice that for starters.
Do you seriously expect to find an umbrella that charges £8.33 a month? Muppet

Will search for a decent umbralla. If I can find one that charges ~100 a year without hidden charges, will settle with them for sure. at least I can trust them.
