Because many people are not aware of the other side of the coin: yes, becoming a freelancer means having to manage a business. But then, is there a solution to avoid this heavy management and simply concentrate on your job? Is it possible not to create a company?
Following this observation, a new alternative model appeared: the business management for freelancers. Appearing at the end of the 2010s, it quickly became THE ideal model for consultants who wish to avoid going through the process of creating a business to fully benefit from the freedom of independence. Here is a quick overview of how it works and its advantages.
Business management: independence without its drawbacks
Despite its obvious advantages, freelancing can be complex if you are not well supported. Wanting to manage everything alone is often a bad idea, as the constraints of business management are numerous and time-consuming. In addition to administrative tasks, you also have to negotiate and enter into contracts with your customers, or even follow up with them to obtain payments on time. Not to mention the numerous additional insurance policies to take out (health, welfare, professional liability, retirement, etc.) or the more complex access to real estate loans for the self-employed.
The solution: activity management.
To take full advantage of your independent status, activity management allows you to practice your profession without having to create or manage a business, thus avoiding accounting or administration. The principle: you benefit from a full-time contract (= a permanent contract) while remaining 100% independent and free to choose your missions. You then benefit from the advantages usually reserved for employees without its disadvantages: hierarchy, schedules, face-to-face, etc.
How does activity management work?
It’s very simple, you decide on your missions, and your activity management company takes care of everything else with your customers: contractualization, invoicing, reminders, monthly payments, administration. Your activity management company therefore becomes the intermediary between you and your clients, representing you to them throughout your service. Despite this employment contract, you remain 100% free in the choice of your clients (the management company is not intended to offer you missions).
The advantages of a specialized management company for freelancers
Support from A to Z for your career
With a management company like Hightekers, you benefit from a dedicated coordinator who guides, advises and supports you at all stages of your career. You are thus more confident in your choices and your ADR (average daily rate) for healthier and more profitable management of your activity.
No more accounting and invoicing
You no longer have to worry about managing your invoicing or employing an accountant. Everything is processed for you, and you can accurately track your income in your dashboard on the platform provided to you. This saves you valuable time that you can devote (and bill) to your clients or your hobbies.
Better income
By avoiding the multitude of additional costs (accounting, collective mutual insurance, collective insurance, supplementary pension, etc.), you benefit from better net remuneration at the end of the month. Plus, your monthly payment is paid on time, even if your customers are late with their payments. Finally, your dedicated coordinator helps you better negotiate your contracts with your customers.
An employment contract to benefit from the advantages of employment
Many self-employed people become disillusioned when they try to rent an apartment or obtain a mortgage. Banks are in fact more cautious about the fluctuating income of self-employed people, considering freelancing to be more risky. By offering yourself a permanent employment contract, you (re)become an employee with banking establishments and real estate agencies, for simplified access to property. But that’s not all, you also benefit from mutual insurance, a contribution to the general pension system and unemployment.
A network of experts specialized in your field
Another factor that weighs on the daily lives of independent consultants: loneliness. The Hightekers activity management company is also a network of IT and IT experts, where more than 1,500 consultants help, support and co-opt each other with the most successful clients in France and abroad. ‘international. Training, meetings, mission proposals: the strength of the network takes on its full meaning here.
Andinternational mobility without borders
If you want to go elsewhere (today or tomorrow), you can easily work as a freelancer abroad thanks to Hightekers which takes care of everything for you. Thanks to 12 branches in Europe and Dubai, you can work from wherever you want while benefiting from local social benefits.
Activity management vs. salary portage = what difference?
While there are many similarities, activity management is the ideal alternative to salary portage for consultants who want better support while belonging to a powerful network. You can benefit from recommendations on the best projects or supplement your income by co-opting other qualified experts. In addition, an international management company like Hightekers allows incredible international mobility. You can therefore work in more than 12 destinations in Europe without problem.
How to choose the right activity management company?
There are several important factors to take into account when making your choice:
- The specialisation : always opt for a management company specialized in your field of activity. They will know better than anyone how to negotiate your contracts for you with clients with whom they are used to dealing on a daily basis. For example, Hightekers specializes in IT, IT, tech and digital and is widely recognized in these sectors.
- Support: carefully check whether you will benefit from a dedicated coordinator or not. At Hightekers, your coordinator plays the role of both your advisor and your representative to your customers.
