Thanks in advance
With only having a little Doblo, the van is jam packed when fully loaded. I fancy some proper racking, the type where ladders slide underneath and all that jazz. I've thought about making my own (I already have some I made myself transferred across from the Kangoo) but don't really have the...

So I can get few long-term contracts and I was told I need an umbrella company. Seems foreign to me, but ok, I'll go with it.
So many are out there saying take home 80%-90%, sounds good but which one to choose based off what? What's the good and bad? What to expect from them?
