AD'Missions

What AD'Missions does

AD'Missions is a French portage salarial (umbrella payroll) company founded in 1997 and operating as a subsidiary brand of the Euronext-listed Freelance.com group. It enables independent professionals — primarily intellectual-service freelancers in consulting, IT, training, engineering, and project management — to engage clients and bill for services while maintaining full salaried employment status, French social protections (unemployment insurance rights, retirement contributions, health insurance, professional liability), and administrative simplification. The company operates a national network of 18 physical agencies across France plus one in Geneva, each staffed by named regional delegates who provide face-to-face onboarding, advisory, and ongoing account management; this is supplemented by a fully digital self-service portal called Espace Consultant that runs 24/7 and handles activity reports (CRA), expense declarations via mobile, salary advances, and document access. Underlying technology consists of internal systems ADM System and ADM Connect plus a web-based online salary simulator that converts a daily rate (TJM) and professional expenses into a net monthly estimate.

AD'Missions monetizes via management fees (frais de gestion) ranging from 5% to 10% of consultant billable revenue (chiffre d'affaires hors taxes), supplemented by payroll processing services that handle invoicing, social contributions, and monthly salary disbursement on the 1st of each month independent of client payment timing. Client companies (enterprise end-buyers of consultant labor) include AXA, L'Oréal, Generali, Atos, Bouygues Télécom, and Orange per public logos, but the primary customer of record is the individual consultant. International missions beyond France are enabled through wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary SAGE SA, which coordinates multi-currency billing, social security detachment vs. expatriation, and visa support across 40+ countries.

The company is differentiated by regulatory rigor (AFNOR Label PEPS certification, adherence to the portage salary collective agreement with a €300 minimum daily rate and €2,517.13 minimum guaranteed monthly salary), a deep RSE/ESG posture (EcoVadis Gold Medal placing it in the top 5% of assessed companies, Label Lucie 26000, CDP B score 2024, Label Numérique Responsable, SBTi-validated 42% Scope 1/2 reduction by 2040, 84/100 Gender Equality Index in 2024), and group-level mission flow from Freelance.com. Headcount is reported at 51–100 employees, the active consultant network within the group ecosystem is ~5,000, and 28,000+ independents have been cumulatively supported since founding.
