Who are Third Parties Umbrella Services for?

Third Parties Umbrella Services are for IT services companies and consultancies that want to bring freelance consultants onto their client engagements while offering them a secure and compliant framework.

It is especially well suited when:

  • The consultant wants the protections of salaried-employee status
  • The end client requires an employee-style contractual framework
  • The IT services company wants to legally secure its collaboration with an independent contractor
  • The consultant has no legal entity of their own, or does not wish to set one up

How do Third Parties Umbrella Services work?

Third Parties Umbrella Services are a tripartite contractual arrangement between the IT services company, the umbrella company (Nexoris Portage) and the consultant.

This model lets the consultant enjoy salaried-employee status while still operating autonomously on the IT services company's engagements.

In this setup:

The IT services company and the consultant agree on the engagement terms (scope, duration, rate).

The IT services company and Nexoris Portage sign a service agreement.

Nexoris Portage and the consultant sign an employment contract (permanent or fixed-term) covering the engagement.

The consultant carries out the engagement for the IT services company.

Nexoris Portage invoices the IT services company for the work and pays the consultant their salary and social contributions.
