> You must go through a third company

Pardon me if I'm ignorant about the situation, but could this simply mean that they just want a business entity and not an individual? It makes it easier for them since they don't need to deal with verifying your employment eligibility, issue you 1099s, IRS reporting, worrying about hiring discrimination lawsuits, gig worker lawsuits, and all that mess. Paying a company for services doesn't require anything other than wiring money and getting a receipt from that company.

Figuring out the expense record-keeping and tax stuff becomes your responsibility (rightly so).

If this is the case, you can register a LLC and be a 1-person business, and that would solve their problem.
