How are you finding it and did you look through loads? been researching but it's the 1st time she has done this so is worried about what going rate is and not wanting to get fleeced.

There's a couple of big ones; Parasol, Giant etc. Their fees are reasonably transparent and amount to an admin charge for effectively turning your billing in to PAYE.
Their time sheeting systems are clunky as fuck but comes with the territory.

I use Parasol. Colleagues use Giant, which is apparently significantly cheaper for them, but may have been a special offer. I have found Parasol pretty good, the people on the helpline are knowledgeable and efficient. More on how umbrellas work here: https://www.contractoruk.com/umbrella_company
