At Redego, we get asked the same umbrella company related questions on an almost daily basis. We find that agencies often tell contractors that they have to use an Umbrella Company, but give them no information as to what one is! We have therefore complied a list of questions that we are asked the most frequently. If you need any further information on any of the questions below, or you think we have missed a question on, please get in touch and we will endeavour to answer it!
