When I was doing consulting in the UK, there were often layers of white label. Client hires company A, who bill 2.5kGBP. Company A outsources to Company B at ~1.5kGBP. Company B outsources to Company C for 700GBP. Consultant at Company C makes buggery fuck all, and has to unravel the mess of Chinese whispers/obfuscation to work out what the job actually is and who they are meant to be pretending to be that day, whose report template was being used, etc.
