Umbrella employment, micro-enterprise or SASU: which to choose?
The micro-enterprise is the simplest way to start, but it is capped at €83,600 in service revenue and gives no right to unemployment benefits. The SASU lets you optimise your pay but requires accounting management. Umbrella employment offers the protection of an employee with no admin, with 4% fees at Kaiporting.
Which status pays the most for an IT freelancer?
It all depends on revenue and expenses. At low activity levels, the micro-enterprise leaves more net income, but it is quickly capped. Above a daily rate of around €300 excl. VAT, umbrella employment keeps 60–65% of revenue as net pay with full social protection. This comparator calculates each option.
Can you move from a micro-enterprise to umbrella employment?
Yes, at any time. You can close your micro-enterprise or keep it for another activity, then carry out your IT assignments through umbrella employment as soon as the commercial contract with your client is signed. You keep your clients and daily rate, and gain unemployment insurance and a general-scheme pension.
