Contracting to go with a Plc's or an Umbrella co.

[sullynew]

I began contracting in Dublin in sept. However I am through an agency that will only work with a PLC or an umbrella company. I am earning over €1k a week. I have signed up for a 6 month contract till the end of June. I am wondering which is the best option for me? What are the costs involved? what I need to do for each option?

My two pence worth, if this is a long term career choice for you then set up your own company. Otherwise go with the umbrella.

Thanks for the reply I was thinkin along those lines anyway . Can you suggest a few umbrella companies and what rates/charges Iwould be looking at.

Not aware of any umbrella companies myself, however the agency probably has a realtionship with one that they can organise for you.
