Universal Payroll operate both an umbrella company and a CIS scheme for construction workers. This company understand the support a contractor needs and deliver at a low price. They explain their services in clear simple terms and have a good grasp of current complex legislation that affects you as a contractor. The inclusive insurances which all are part of the standard fee should be adequate for most contracts.
You'll be assigned your own account manager and this should be all you need for a smooth running contract. Universal Payroll will welcome you regardless of the industry you work in and advise you accordingly.
Their website is readable and makes sense to a newcomer. It's not overladen with details but there's enough information for you to know what's going on. They do not operate a portal system which means you'll need to fax or email your timesheets every week - but that's not a great hardship.
