Umbrella company service and Employer of Record: Two Distinct Frameworks
In today’s professional mobility ecosystem, two frameworks coexist, addressing fundamentally different needs. Let us examine their characteristics and respective contexts of application.

Let us compare two distinct legal structures in the current professional mobility ecosystem, Professional Salary Portage and Employer of Record, often confused but responding to fundamentally different business requirements.

UMBRELLA COMPANY SERVICE operates within a business-to-consumer (B2C) dynamic, designed for independent professionals. Its distinctive attributes:

  • Governed by specific national legislation
  • Complete autonomy in the selection of assignments
  • Secure framework for independent contractors

Conversely, EMPLOYER OF RECORD (EOR) exists within a business-to-business (B2B) relationship and is specifically designed for organisations in an international expansion phase. Its main characteristics:

  • International solution adapted to local legislations
  • Preservation of operational control by the client company
  • International legal framework

Understanding the fundamental distinction between these two business models allows for comprehension of their specific applications in the current professional mobility landscape.

MobilityPartners specialises in customised EOR solutions and can support your company in 150 countries.
