About to start a new contract agency have issued a list of umbrellas, some I know (and have discounted) some I don't.
Any opinions on paystream and best pay?
I've obviously not used either of the companies you mentioned, Paystream get talked about a fair bit on here (more bad than good I'd say) so maybe search for them and make up your own conclusions...
Bestpay seem to be pushing a 90% take home model so are probably not your conventional Umbrella company but some loan/offshore remuneration scheme, if this is correct then in my opinion avoid.
From what I've heard you can't go wrong with Contractor Umbrella and Lisa posts on here quite regularly.
Just one point to note, you may have an issue with your expenses if you are moving Umbrella companies for each contract you take on (although come April 16 this probably won't be relevant anymore).
Go to Contractor Umbrella. They have been at the forefront of fighting for umbrella workers and contractors alike. They've been posting on here for a long time always with good advice.
You'll not find anyone better IMO.
Forget the list the agency give you. They are the ones they get a kickback from so not really a recommendation.

Unfortunately they are not on the list so not an option.
It is their list or no job. Otherwise I would use my current brolly.
