France – Portage Salarial: A Comprehensive Solution for Self-Employed Professionals

Access Financial and its group are excited to announce the expansion of our portfolio of client solutions for France with Portage Salarial.

What is Portage Salarial?

Portage Salarial is a unique employment status in France that allows self-employed workers to enjoy the same social security coverage and rights as employees while maintaining the flexibility and independence of freelancing.

Access Financial is an umbrella company that employs freelancers under permanent contracts (contrat à durée indéterminée – CDI) or fixed-term (contrat à durée déterminée – CDD) employment contract.

The arrangement allows freelancers, known as “salarié porté” in French, to access the same social benefits as traditional employees, including retirement pensions, public healthcare, and unemployment benefits. Additionally, Access Financial manages the collection of the freelancer’s earnings and converts them into a salary. We then pay the freelancer after deducting the necessary taxes, social charges, and insurance.  With the Portage Salarial solution, there are typically two main options: a basic level where the freelancer is paid all of the salary and secondly, for qualifying professions, there is a salary plus dividend retention option which enables the freelancerto retain a portion of earnings as dividends, which can be advantageous from a tax perspective.

As a fully authorised and licensed Portage Salarial provider, Access Financial manages administrative tasks for you. Our user-friendly, cloud-based portal allows you to easily and simply manage your monthly timesheets—letting us do the rest!
