👉 Countercompanies are companies that operate as independent contractors rather than as part of a larger business. These companies offer their services to clients, and they typically have no formal relationship with the company's main organization or management. Countercompanies may be hired by individuals, businesses, or organizations for specific tasks, such as project management, customer service, or technical support. Countercompanies are often considered more flexible and cost-effective than traditional full-time employees due to their ability to work independently and manage their own schedules and budgets
