too good to be true? help choosing umbrella services

I suggest speaking with them on the live chat, then report back to the guys on here and I am sure they will give you an honest view! Should make for an entertaining afternoon

When you've done that go back to your preferred Umbrella and go over their offering one more time on live chat just to be sure....

You're lucky you get to choose your umbrella co. In my experience the agent has dictated a list of 2 or 3. I've been through more umbrella cos than I care to remember.

I know of a few agencies that don't/didn't like dealing with the dodgy IoM offshore loan scheme types. I can understand that but I don't get how any agency can force you to use a particular brolly. It's your risk at the end of the day, not theirs. I have always assumed that it's due to back handers.

Under the Offshore and Onshore Intermediary Rules there is a transfer of debt provision to Intermediary One (agency closest to the client.) So the risk is very clearly theirs as well. In my experience few MSPs have actually taken this on board.

I had no idea; thanks for the info. I hope to never need a brolly but it's good to know these things.
