Commercial umbrella vs. payroll umbrella: what is the difference?
It is important to distinguish commercial umbrella arrangements from payroll umbrella arrangements.
Commercial umbrella refers to contracting with a freelancer who operates through their own company. The freelancer remains an independent entrepreneur and manages their own tax and social obligations, while sometimes benefiting from administrative or commercial support from the umbrella company.
Payroll umbrella, on the other hand, involves a third-party company employing the freelancer as an employee. That company handles administrative tasks and payroll. The freelancer benefits from employee status, with full social protection and simplified management.
