Basically the only thing that separates an umbrella company is quality of service and fee charged..

Ask an Umbrella Company - All Umbrella Companies Are Equal
I must admit I can't see anything about 80%+ take home and QC approved etc but there doesn't seem to be much information at all. They seem to have quite a bit of lolly in the bank and have been around for a long time so don't tick any of the danger boxes for Offshore/Schemes stuff.
Their website gives me the heebie jeebies though. It's exactly the same format as some of the IoM offerings that pop up on here. The simple layout with the big telephone number in the top right. This could just be a template but it surprises me how often it appears to pop up.
Looks legit on the face of it but in my personal opinion there are better ones.

Well they appear on the All Umbrella's are equal website as a pending member so nothing to worry about there
However their website looks seriously out of date (the footer states 2014) and you can no longer claim business as usual expenses so its not that accurate.
There is also this post from 7 years ago http://forums.contractoruk.com/accou...ml#post1119510 (based on the age treat it with a pinch of salt - things will have changed)

Have a read through the first two stickies in this section. There are plenty of details from Lucy about why umbrella take home shouldn't be that different.
Their website claims that "We operate under an HMRC-issued expenses dispensation". This sounds concerning - Lucy, what does this mean?

Atlantic Umbrella
Anyone used Atlantic Umbrella? Are they any good? reputable?
They seem to be offering me by far the most (with expenses) compared to the other umbrella companies, as im thinking of using an umbrella in April (temporarily) until the end of this public sector contract.Tags: None
