    Feedback on Bbuffalo umbrella company

    Has anyone used this company? any feedback would be great.

    BBuffalo’s online umbrella company service maximises your net income for only £9.50/week.
    An accountant could be cheaper.

    Edit: no they couldn't. I blame the man 'flu.

    My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

      Anyone else, I want a new umbrella company that does not cost so much. Sub £20 or less ideal.

      Cheers

          From what I've seen...

          They are cheap because they do sod all!

          They don't process expenses during the year. You keep all your receipts and they will "help" you with your tax return at the end of the year (and charge you for the priveledge). You then get a tax rebate.

          Interesting umbrella model.... I'm pretty sure that if I was using a brolly I'd want my tax relief on an ongoing basis.

            I’ve been at the same place for 2 ½ years so no expenses to worry about.

              GoUmbrella are very good, www.goumbrella.co.uk you can use this discount code to get a 30% discount on their fees with same day payments if you do not claim expenses GONOEXSD30P, not sure it will work with their 6 weeks cash back offer though...

                  I used Go for quite some time, then when I changed agency, they told me I had to use their own umbrella so I moved as I didn't want to lose out on the contract, but it finishes at the end of Feb, so I will move back to Go then when I change agency. Go really helped me alot and always seemed to go the extra mile, the umbrella I use now are useless and the agency force me to use them and I pay more in fees, whats that all about??!!!
