Self-employment ?

Self-employment under an umbrella company is perfect for carrying out your activity as a freelancer. It grants you an employment contract, with all its benefits, plus the freedom to be your own boss and organise your work as you please.

Other types of individual or small companies condamns you to spend time monthly to meet legal requirements in terms of VAT, social contributions, accounting… Wich entails risks of delay and error.

The time and attention spent with administrative tasks pollute your activity as self-employed. This time would be better spent on your expertise, your search for new missions or simply on your hobbies.

An umbrella company allows you to focus on your priorities, by entrusting the administrative work to the said company wich signs a genuine contract with you. Thus, you are certain that the contributions are paid on time and that you meet all the legal requirements.

  • First step : find your mission

A client requests your skills, in France or abroad ? You are free to set the details of your intervention (type of service, number of days, hourly or daily rate, etc.). No need to write complicated contracts, a simple mission sheet is sufficient.

  • Second step : Sign your contract with us

Together, we sign an employment contract, fixed-term or permanent, and you thus become a full-fledged employee of A2I International, with the corresponding rights (unemployment contributions, pension, health insurance, etc.).

For our part, we sign a commercial service contract with your client.

That’s it, you are now employed with us. Congratulations !

  • Third step: accomplish your mission

Freed from the constraints of management, accounting and VAT, you can concentrate on your mission for the greatest satisfaction of your customers. As you are your own boss, you alone decide how you intervene. If you have time left, use it to prospect for new companies, grow your network and prepare for your future missions, like a true freelancer.

  • Fourth step: declare your activity

At the end of the month, you provide us with a simplified activity statement (number of days worked, daily rate) and send us your expense reports for reimbursement. A2I sends the corresponding invoices to your customers. Depending on your receipts, you determine the salary you want to pay yourself. That’s all.

It is as simple as that!
