self employed to limited company

Kentselon

hello all
a quick question im a self employed chef who earns £30,000 ish
iv moved to a new area milton keynes and looking for more local work
the problem is agencies in the area will not employ self employed because of a new law
now is there such a law out there that stops an agency employing me
also they say if I was a limited company they would employ me but my accountant says this opens up a lot of hassle and is not worth it
now I don't really know what he means but I'm guessing hes doing right by me
so is it worth doing a limited company as I could work for these agencies or do I stick to existing work
any info would be great

The rules would be IR35 http://www.contractoruk.com/ir35/what_is_ir35_rules_explained.html

You can use an umbrella company rather than do all the leg work yourself.

So this is a law I'm guessing or a guideline
I'm guessing an umbrella company will take a % of yr daily earning or charge a fee and then I'm guessing you can keep yr self employed status and keep everything as it is
