    I think the Entrepreneurial & Business Management forum might be better for this, if you need to find out more info on the logistics of setting up. Let me know if you'd like me to move this thread.

    Does your contract require you to operate through a company (either your own, or an umbrella)? If not you could operate as a sole trader.

    You say short-medium term: if you set up a company yourself there is a lot of hassle involved, which will cause you rage if you only use it for a few months. An umbrella is best in this short-term case, but imposes some constraints and extra tax liability.

    How do you mean umbrella?

    Best option here I would feel is sole trader depending on the line of business you are consulting on? Can you give us more information?
