Access Financial becomes the legal employer of the professional (le salari\u00e9 port\u00e9), enters into a commercial agreement (contrat de prestation) with your business, and issues an employment contract to the professional. Your business retains full control of the day-to-day work, deliverables, and timelines; we carry the employment, payroll, social security, and labour law liability under the French Code du Travail. <a href=\"https:\/\/nmore-dev.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/accessfinancial\/Brochures\/Portage+Salarial.pdf\">Download our Salary Portage Guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Self-employment:<\/strong> Where an engagement genuinely meets the criteria for self-employed status, we register the contractor compliantly, manage their filing obligations throughout the contract term, and deregister them at the end of the assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Limited company (PSC):<\/strong> We support engagements with contractors operating through their own limited company (personal service company). Where a contractor does not yet have a PSC but the engagement warrants one, we can handle company formation and ongoing administration on their behalf.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group ac is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-39 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ac-header ac-trigger has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Is contractor misclassification a high risk under an AOR engagement?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group ac-panel\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Misclassification typically occurs when contractors are treated as employees in practice \u2014 fixed hours, integration into the team, no right of substitution, direct supervision, and so on. Prevention requires clear engagement frameworks, standardised processes, documented evidence of independence, and recurring audits. Accountability and the right technology are key to staying compliant at scale, particularly as tax authorities increasingly use data analytics and algorithmic checks to flag suspect arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Access Financial, we help our clients minimise this risk by designing tailored classification frameworks, onboarding checklists, contractual safeguards, and recurring compliance audits.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group ac is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-41 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ac-header ac-trigger has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What is your pricing model?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group ac-panel\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Our standard management fee is <strong>5% of the contract value, with a minimum of \u20ac550<\/strong>.
