In this difficult context, becoming self-employed represents a real professional opportunity rather than an exit strategy. Indeed, companies continue to need, on a per need basis, the know-how of experienced professionals as their employees. So, they call on external consultants for missions defined in time, as soon as a specific problem or a major strategic interest presents itself. In becoming self-employed, the senior managers go from an unwanted employee status to the rank of an expert, sought-after for their high-level skills.
Therefore, there is space for one man shows, but be careful; above all they must remain specialised. A consultant that is too generalised is not credible. It is useless to try raking in as many clients as possible. Companies want "experts" in specific fields.
Amongst the most sought-after specialities are: organisation and strategy, quality security environment, human resources, restructure management, financing, cost reduction. Information technology consultancy continues to be a booming sector. It will not be tomorrow that programmers, analysts, developers and other UNIX specialists are going to be out of a job!
From the legal perspective, many statuses exist to earn a living as self-employed. It is less risky becoming a "freelancer" and many free agents opt for the umbrella company.
Its strong-point: to preserve social protection with all the advantages associated with the employee status. An umbrella company manages contracts, insurances, invoices, and offers a true work contract for the consultant. Freed from administrative constraints, s/he is freer to dedicate himself/herself to their business. The main advantage of this system is to integrate an existing network of clients and thus enable you to obtain contracts more easily. A real luxury!
