    You're only better off if you know what you're doing.

    That's odd. Never heard that before and we've talked a lot about it.

    It's very interesting to go to Companies House and see how many 'pop-up' umbrellas (pun intended) have directors who also have dissolved EBT schemes attached to their names...

    And dodgy loan scheme umbrellas galore.

    What bollocks. Every article on that site has a link to a different Umbrella company, each of which has the same application form and are probably all brands of the same company. I can't be arsed to look up if there actually is a company called Simply Umbrella but I'm just going to assume there isn't.

    Private Sector Contractors Hit by IR35 Changes - No More Limited Companies

    This article popped up in my google feed this morning. Quite rightly someone has commented on this article to call out the alternative facts, quality of the admin response is also interesting.

    I've heard a few agencies attempting to force contractors on their books down the umbrella route...like a gun to the head

Working...
