New Contractor; Which Umbrella Company Should I Use?

[JoshM HC]

Hey,

I recently became a contractor working in finance, work starts next month.

I can't be bothered with the extra work of setting up a Ltd company and would rather go the easy route of just joining an Umbrella Company. We have been recommended Trafalgar Contractor Solutions because they pay after 7 days, but what are other peoples thoughts on that company?

If you think they're a load of old rubbish what company would you recommend I use instead?

Thanks in advance!

It appears you can't be bothered to do some simple research in to your Umbrella's either.

Have a look at the page below. Shows the winners of the CUK awards inc for best umbrella

There is a page dedicated to information about Umbrellas which should help you make your choice

That'd be a bit like having a sabre toothed tiger for a pet Cojak
