Seeking a reputable umbrella company

holly123456

Hi guys. I work freelance and the vast majority of my clients are happy for me to invoice direct as a sole trader. However I recently started working as a contractor for a bigger firm that does not accept sole traders.

I had to sign up with one umbrella company in something of a hurry in order to start a job quickly (I thought it would be OK as it was recommended by the company's HR dept), but I have not been happy with their service and am moreover concerned about their particular methods of working. As a result, I am looking to switch before signing my next contract, which I need to do ideally in the next couple of days.

Can anyone recommend a good, reputable and 100% HMRC-compliant umbrella I can sign up with relatively hassle free?

I am considering the incorporating route as well, but am not great with paperwork and don't fancy the high fees charged by accountants for limited companies. I can't guarantee how long my contract will last so don't know if it's worth doing it just for one job.

thanks all.

When I was working via umbrella companies I used these people, always found them reliable and easy to deal with...

I've used champion and paysure and they're both good.....champion is cheaper.
