THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING A SALARIED CONSULTANT IN A FRENCH EOR COMPLETE SOLUTION

You Benefit From Full Employee Status

A French EOR complete solution offers a completely new approach to freelancing.

On one hand, you work independently: you manage your schedule, you find your own clients, and you choose your assignments.

On the other hand, you pay contributions for health insurance, unemployment, and retirement — and you benefit from strong social protection.

Finally, you are supported by your EOR company, which reassures your clients and guarantees the proper execution of your assignments.

A French EOR complete solution provides freelancers with structure and security through its employment contract.

You Receive ONGOING SUPPORT and TRAINING

Every new consultant joining 2i Portage gains free access to the Consultant Pathway! 🎓

2i Portage offers its independent consultants the opportunity to strengthen their professional skills through training sessions on major topics relevant to entrepreneurs — areas where you may not be an expert yet.

The goal is to help you launch your project or support its growth by training you in the latest marketing, webmarketing, and sales techniques.

As a result, the services you deliver to clients will be of higher quality, and your revenue will naturally improve! 🚀

You Can Combine UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS With a French EOR Complete Solution

Given today’s job market and its increasing instability, the salaried consultant status has become a valuable employment solution — or at least a solid alternative.

Presenting yourself as an independent professional is also a proactive way to search for opportunities, maintain a professional posture, and very often secure an assignment.
This assignment allows you to continue receiving a salary without being employed by your client company.

Note: If you are registered with Pôle emploi and receive unemployment benefits (ARE), working with 2i Portage does not interrupt your ARE payments.
This is a major advantage — no other legal status allows this.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE ADVANTAGES OF A FRENCH EOR COMPLETE SOLUTION

Your Administrative Work Is Fully Managed

One of the biggest advantages of being an employee of a French EOR complete solution is that you can focus on your assignments and let us handle the administration.

Unlike a micro‑entrepreneur or independent freelancer, as a salaried consultant with 2i Portage, your only administrative tasks are to:

  • Enter your monthly activity report (CRA) in our portal, which we use to calculate your revenue and reimburse eligible expenses — so you can receive your salary at the end of the month.

Your EOR company handles:

  • the client service contract,
  • your employment contract,
  • your monthly payslip,
  • management of your business expenses,
  • invoicing for your various assignments,
  • client invoice reminders.

You save time — and money.

Your Professional Expenses Are Reimbursed

Get your business expenses reimbursed and optimise your take‑home pay. 💼

Without getting lost in accounting details, being able to declare business expenses (meals, travel, office supplies, IT equipment, training…) is a huge advantage for managing your activity and increasing your net income.

This is a major benefit compared to micro‑entrepreneurs, who cannot deduct expenses.
Unlike salaries, reimbursed expenses are not subject to social contributions.

Your expense limit is capped at 15% of the revenue invoiced to clients (all services combined).
Your reimbursements are paid monthly, one week after your salary, upon simple proof.

You Are Covered by Our Professional Liability Insurance

Our Professional Liability Insurance protects you! 🛡️

As a salaried consultant, you do not need to purchase your own professional liability insurance — you are covered by the EOR company’s insurance.

At 2i Portage, coverage extends up to €3 million in damages.

Test Your Activity!

A French EOR complete solution is the best way to test your abilities as an independent professional.
From your very first client, even for a short assignment, you can invoice easily, generate revenue, and receive a salary — all without any administrative steps.

You can also receive income from your assignments even during periods of inactivity.

This means you can start your freelance business as a salaried consultant without creating a legal entity.

A French EOR complete solution is ideal for launching or transitioning — and includes personalised support to help you start strong.
