OUR CONVICTION
Freedom has value — provided it serves your assignments
Choosing independence means choosing freedom and responsibility. Our senior consultants are in control of their professional path: they choose their assignments, their clients, and the environments in which they want to operate. This autonomy allows them to focus on what matters most — bringing sharp expertise and creating value, assignment after assignment.
Freed from organizational heaviness, they operate with greater agility and a valuable outside perspective. Together with their clients, they build a direct relationship, grounded in trust, performance, and the real impact of the results achieved.
Autonomy
You choose your assignments, your clients and your pace.
Agility
An outside perspective, without the usual organizational heaviness.
Direct relationship
Trust built on performance and concrete results.
Step 1 — Choose your status
What structure should you choose to get started?
The choice of your legal status has a direct impact on your taxation, your net income and your social protection. It depends on your project, your targeted level of activity and your appetite for administrative management. This choice is never final: our partners help you decide, then help you evolve your structure if needed.
The simplest
Employed contracting
You remain an employee
- No company to set up
- Payslip and social protection under the standard employee scheme
- Administrative management delegated
- Ideal for testing your business
The most common
SASU
Simplified joint-stock company
- President status treated as an employee for social security purposes
- Operational flexibility and a corporate image
- Compensation via salary and/or dividends
- Suited to a long-term business
The optimized
EURL
Single-member limited liability company
- Manager classified as a self-employed worker
- Social security contributions often reduced
- Choice of tax regime (income tax or corporate tax)
- Liability limited to contributions
The micro-entreprise status remains an option for starting out with smaller amounts. This information is indicative: the optimal choice depends on your personal situation and should be validated with a partner accountant.
Step 2 — Surround yourself with the right partners
Our partners support you
From setting up your structure to your day-to-day protection, Hectoria connects you with selected partners, at negotiated terms for network members.
No status is required to join the network. You’ll have time to think it over before your first assignment begins.
These are recommendations, not an obligation. You remain free to reach out to other partners.
The choice of a status is never final — you can evolve your structure as your business grows.
