Thanks, it's useful to know that you started out with a brolly too. On balance the occasional nugget if helpful info makes it worthwhile having you pestering me.

I used Danbro years ago. Had no issues with them

The agent was a bit peed off that I'm not going ltd as well

Sounds ridiculous that they would say that, it makes no difference to them whether your Ltd or Umbrella (unless the role dictates it)!

It's probably just a natural response to me not taking his advice to go ltd. He's a nice enough chap, I'd be offended by me too sometimes.

I had an interesting chat with Danbro this morning, apparently I can claim back £50 of my prescription expenses and up to £200 towards dental treatment using their Bupa care plan (included in margin). It seems too good to be true so I'll have to check the small print.

It does to the Agent who has lost out on a c£300 voucher for him personally more than likely.

People have definitely been shoe horned down the Limited Company route by greedy agents incentivised by Love2Shop vouchers and the like because Accountancy clients generate more profit for the companies so - they don't mind a higher cost of acquisition.

This umbrella benefits thing is turning out to be a headache. The prescriptions saving at Danbro is only £25 and the £200 is for a 'dental accident'. The latter might come in handy after next year's CUK Christmas party but is not worth banking on. I can get a free eye test though.

Paystream have just reeled off a list of shops that give discounts including the major supermarkets. I have guaranteed spend there so could factor in the savings as a long term benefit if there's a permanent cashback card. I can't get an answer out of them though, they've stopped picking up the phone.

Danbro's shopping rewards are random group-on type discounts so I can't really predict any savings.

On the plus side, I just got my £10 Christmas bonus from the DWP. I might go out and get the Mrs a Christmas present now.

We really don't care. Please try to sort something out for yourself without having to post another tedious me me me post.

NAT has already 'suggested' this to you.
