This may prove complicated with both UK and FR taxes. As Cojak says, if you're just testing the water use a brolly. There are big changes to contracting on the horizon so I'd keep it as simple as possible for the short term.

Hi folks,
As I might be relocate in UK (London) in the next few months , I wish I could have some feedbacks about the market statut in the ETL/DWH/BI especially in PLSQL/ODI/OBIEE with 5+ years experience.
I currently work in Paris as a Contractor (Ltd company) through agency so I decided to maybe move on in London after the termination (end of this year).
Is it easy to form Ltd company in UK for foreigner (French) ? And from what I can read on the site , is it worth it to do it so with these laws coming off next year ?
Or Is it better for me to start by umbrella or permanent ?

Thanks .

Cheers guys !

Sorry Clement, I thought that you would get better responses than this.

It would be better for you to use an umbrella. Set up a Ltd once you know that you can find work here.
