Empowering your growth
The services agreement between your firm and the consultant’s umbrella company ends when the assignment ends. Your firm bears no bench costs. Engaging some of your resources through umbrella employment can therefore be useful, especially for profiles outside your core areas of expertise that could be difficult to place on another assignment.
You agree a price with your client and a rate with the consultant: your firm’s commercial margin on the services is defined from the outset. No bench costs after the assignment reduce it. For an employee of your firm, future periods without an assignment and their costs remain uncertain, making the actual margin less predictable.
If your firm regularly engages umbrella employees, working with a limited number of partners makes it easier to track contracts and invoices. You know how they work and whom to contact.
Use these criteria to identify your umbrella company partners (in French). When a consultant has not yet chosen their umbrella company, you can suggest one of them. The choice remains theirs.
Your firm can work with a consultant already employed by an umbrella company or with a consultant who wishes to use this status for the assignment. If they choose Nexoris Portage, your firm contracts with it for the services.
Your firm monitors delivery and maintains its commercial relationship with the end client. Nexoris Portage is the consultant’s employer: it manages payroll, files social declarations and pays social contributions.
The consultant benefits from employee social protection: healthcare, retirement, provident insurance and complementary health insurance.
Your firm agrees with its end client the price it will charge for the assignment. It separately negotiates with the consultant the rate for their work as a subcontractor to your firm. Nexoris Portage then invoices your firm based on this rate negotiated with the consultant. Umbrella management fees are borne by the consultant and do not affect your firm’s margin.
If your consultant has not yet chosen an umbrella company, you can introduce Nexoris Portage. The final choice is theirs.
Salary is paid at the end of the month worked, without waiting for your firm’s payment and at no extra cost to the consultant. Nexoris Portage funds salaries without financial debt, bank overdrafts or factoring and benefits from the support of the Nexoris group.
Nexoris Portage holds the FEDEP’S Zero Hidden Fees label. Audits check consistency between advertised fees, deductions and the documents provided to the consultant.
Advisers help consultants understand their salary estimate, payslips and activity account. They support them with business expenses and decisions during and at the end of an assignment.
Fees start at 5% and decrease according to the daily rate agreed between your firm and the consultant, reaching 3% from €1,500 excluding VAT per day. View the fee schedule.
