    Smartpay anyone?

    Received a letter from a company called Smartpay this morning offering a take home after fees of 88%. Anyone heard of this company or had the same letter? Looks dodgy to me! If it looks too good then it probably is as someone said.

    Their website is smartpaylimited dot com

    Me too. I hadn't actually read it; I assumed it was just another umbrella, but it says 88% if you're a "shareholder/director" and 85% if you're a contractor. Don't know what the difference is.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

      I wonder how much of the income will be via an off-shore loan? I wonder how long the company has been in business and how long they will last in the trade?
      If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

        Looking at their website http://www.smartpaylimited.com/index.html it's far too woolly to provide any meaningfull information.

          This is them according to Co's House.

          Operating out of the same offices as a firm of Lawyers.

          More about them here

          Looks like the lawyers have decided to branch out into accountancy as well

                Split divis with the missus and you're not far off 88% anyway (probably )
