A French EOR complete solution is an attractive alternative for entrepreneurs and independent consultants.
This model offers many benefits, the main one being the ability to work as a freelancer while keeping full employee status.
We’ve already explained what a French EOR complete solution is and compared the salaried consultant status with other structures such as sole proprietorships, setting up a limited company, or temp work.
Here, we present the main advantages of this model for salaried consultants.

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.

Discover the consultant pathway
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.
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:
Your EOR company handles:
You save time — and money.
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.

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.

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.
As you know, for independent consultants and entrepreneurs, networking and word‑of‑mouth are essential.
Becoming a salaried consultant in a French EOR complete solution gives you access to the national network of 2iGroup — regularly approached by professionals and companies across France for service assignments.
The 2i Portal, the intranet for independent consultants at 2i Portage, also provides access to the directory of all consultants — a true internal LinkedIn that facilitates referrals and connections.
You can access it even without a mission or employment contract — a simple EOR agreement is enough!
Our physical presence in many cities across France also allows you to join local freelance communities through numerous free events.

2i Portage advises and supports you in researching information and estimating your future salary based on your projected revenue.
