In France you can't hire somebody as a Freelance if you are actually his/her only client, the regulators will say you have too much power over that freelance and that she/he should be re-qualified as an employee.
I think we had similar rules and then they relaxed the rules in my country. It's a points rule I believe: if you have more than x criteria (you work at your location, you use your own equipment, you have more than one client and so on) then you are a "company" otherwise you are a employee.
