Wage portage · 100% digital
Building the next generation of umbrella companies: innovative, efficient and transparent.
Wage portage (portage salarial) is a hybrid employment status that lets consultants and freelancers work autonomously while benefiting from employee social protection. The model relies on a tripartite relationship between the consultant, a wage portage company, and the client company: the portage firm invoices the client, deducts management fees and social contributions, then pays a net salary to the consultant.
In France, more than 120,000 professionals work under wage portage in 2026 (PEPS), in a market exceeding €2.5 billion. Consultants keep the freedom to choose missions and rates without setting up a company or running payroll themselves.
Weepo is a FEDEPS member wage portage company with management fees from 3%, a fully digital platform, and the Zero Hidden Fees label.

Wage portage is a scheme under the French Labor Code (Articles L.1254-1 et seq.): you work autonomously for clients, but you are an employee of an umbrella company that signs service agreements, invoices, runs payroll, and pays social contributions. You keep prospecting and choosing missions; the company handles admin and legal compliance.
Once you secure a mission, the umbrella company sets up a service contract with the client and an employment contract with you. You deliver the work; the client pays the umbrella company, which deducts management fees and social charges, then pays your net salary. Rates, duration, and fees are defined in the contracts and the wage portage collective agreement.
Main benefits of wage portage include employee status (pension, health cover, paid leave), potential unemployment benefits subject to conditions, less admin (invoicing and payroll handled for you), and freedom to choose missions and how you work similar to freelancing without running a company single-handedly.
Short answer: management fees + social contributions. Full detail and 2026 examples: how much wage portage costs (canonical cost page). Then estimate your case with the simulator.
The main difference is social protection: with wage portage, you are covered by the general social security regime (unemployment, retirement, insurance), while micro-entrepreneurs use the independent workers regime. Wage portage also includes full administrative management but charges management fees (5-10%). Micro-entrepreneur status is simpler but offers less coverage.

Freelancing can be defined as a hybrid professional status that allows independent workers to enjoy the benefits of employment while retaining their freedom. This model is based on a tripartite contract. In other words, the consultant, i.e., the independent worker, signs a contract with a freelancing company and the client company. The relationship between the three parties is formalized through this contract.
Before signing the contract, the consultant or independent worker must find projects. They will prospect and negotiate with potential clients to secure projects that align with their skills, similar to an independent contractor.
The contract for the services is then signed by the freelancing company, the consultant, and the client company. This contract outlines the mission conditions, payment terms, and expected deliverables.
Subsequently, the freelancing company handles invoicing by issuing invoices on behalf of the consultant for the completed service. The consultant's fees are calculated based on the desired revenue. Finally, the freelancing company receives payments from clients, taking care of deductions for social and tax contributions, as well as management fees, before transferring the net salary to the consultant. The net salary corresponds to revenue minus deductions and fees. In summary, the freelancing company takes care of the administrative, legal, and accounting aspects of the relationship, allowing the consultant to focus on their actual work.
Good to know: The consultant benefits from employee status, meaning they enjoy advantages such as social protection, unemployment insurance, and retirement benefits. In return, they are required to contribute to various schemes, similar to any other employee.
