To expand their work portfolio independently while retaining the advantages of salaried employment, contractors have the possibility of using an umbrella company, which also lends itself to assignments with an international dimension.
In the same way as at home, the contractor finds their own mission and determines the conditions and remuneration with the end client. They use an international umbrella company which, in return for a commission deducted from the turnover generated by the assignment, handles the administrative side of the mission (signing contracts, administrative obligations, compulsory filing of documents specific to the host country, taxation, etc.) and pays the consultant in the form of a salary.
As a seconded or expatriate contractor of the umbrella company, you do not need to set up a company of you own to work abroad as a freelancer. You benefit from international social protection (health insurance, provident scheme, pension contributions, unemployment benefits, professional civil liability, etc.) and enjoy the advantages of a well-established organization to secure your activity and handle the necessary formalities for your expatriation.
