    I think having a spouse involved is the worst idea, I have heard of lots of spouse taking money, getting divorced etc etc Never heard of someone's mum doing that.

    I know bankruptee's cannot be directors, and IVA is not a bankrupt. quick look on google confirms that he can start his own company.

    Though one has to wonder, can someone who cannot manage their money be able to keep money to one side for VAT, Corp Tax and so on.

    Hello all.

    May I first say thank you for any potential replies.

    I wonder if anyone can offer advise.

    You missed of the Advice Please, which yields "Pacify Two Mafia Pariahs". It's clearly instructions for an anti-organised crime mole.

    I wonder if anyone can offer advise.

    I have just finished an IVA , I have the completion certificate and am no longer on the insolvency register.

    This was an early settlement after 3 years, from my redundancy money so the IVA/defaults will still be all over my credit file.

    I am looking to contract as a PM in London.

    My questions are...

    Which umbrella companies do you recommend?

    What is the average retain these days from an umbrella company? 6 years ago I was retaining 80 percent, that was with 1500 miles a months.

    I expect to earn (fingers crossed) 4-500 a day, so would a limited company be better?

    If so would I be able to get a business account? My current bank account is with the coop who I know are IVA friendly on a personnel level at least.

    Are employers more likely to credit check me if I am using a Ltd company opposed to a umbrella company?

    What is the average retain on a Ltd company?

    Anything else you can think of?

    Kind Regards and thanks.
