Yes of course, but companies will prefer to work with middlemen rather than directly employing individual contractors because it makes legal and accounting easier. There’s often a lot of hurdles to employ an individual directly, like requiring the contractor to have a million dollar insurance policy say

Seems like a lot of money for that, but companies are willing to pay it

I'm a corp to corp subcontractor and aside from getting nearly half of my rate taken, I keep and pay for my own liability and e&o insurance.
