Brolly if you only plan to do this for a few months, otherwise go LTD especially if you plan to do this for a few years.

You'll be lucky!
There are people that use brollies that post on here, but the most prolific posters tend to use Ltds and look down at those that don't/can't manage it.
If you are serious about contracting then you really ought to be able to set up your own Ltd. But it does depend on the contracts that you are going to take - if your roles are basically going to be as a temp then I think that a brollie would be appropriate.
Back to your original question, I can't help you, I use my own Ltd and wouldn't touch a brollie with a bargepole...

Quick umbrella company question
I'm about to start my first contract, and intend to use an Umbrella company. (At least for the initial couple of months.)
Could anybody that has used any of the following brollies please let me know your experiences with them?
