arbejdsfirma

Danish to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - IT (Information Technology) / business management software
Danish term or phrase: arbejdsfirma
This is a translation of an update to business management software: orders, invoicing, etc. There is a field labelled "primær firma/arbejdsfirma" without further context. I'm wondering if the idea is something like 'main/parent company/headquarters' vs 'subsidiary'?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

independent (corporate outsourced) contractor


Explanation:
This assumes primær firma/arbejdsfirma means primær firma vs. and not -cum- arbejdsfirma.

Independent contractor also dodges the legal problem of a 'firm' that, if described in UK writs as 'trading as a firm', means a partnership-only and not a ltd. co.

Query: an outsourcing vs. a primary or parent co. insourcing scenario.

Example sentence(s):
  • Her tænker vi ikke bare på, at der skal lægges et budget i forbindelse med en bestemt type facaderenovering efter de forhold, du ønsker dig, hvor der skal købes materialer ind, hyres assistenter, måske endda *et helt arbejdsfirma* til dette
