To the OP, does your company's contract with the Agency ask you to be an employee of your company?

Pot and Kettle Lisa. Given that I'm not Jeff nor affiliated with him in any way. But I have found the cost of good advice usually preferable to taking advice from online forums...

You really need to pay for an hour of someone's time for a professional opinion.

Find out where they are based.
Look them up in Companies House - find out their address and the names of the directors and any sister companies.
Then google all that you find.
I'm sure it will all be very interesting (particularly any phoenix companies - they're always good for a giggle.).
