ADVERTISING FREELANCERS: Does becoming a limited company affect your odds of getting freelance work? (if yes) how do others go about getting mat leave?

Context: I'm at the point in life where I'm thinking about having kids, and I don't think the government allowance would financially get me very far, so I want to change my company to an ltd. I've heard rumours that agencies only want to work with sole traders - is that true? If it is - how do others navigate mat leave?

How important is a yunojuno account to Freelance in London? The site won’t let me complete my registration because they essentially require you to sign on with an umbrella company. Can’t sign up with an umbrella company because they can’t seem to confirm my identity through my Visa and resident card. I hold a foreign passport.

Can I work as a freelancer in London if I’m a US citizen?
