Employ yourself as a freelancer or an entrepreneur

Freelance work means that you work for several clients without permanent employment based on a contract. As a freelancer, you must take care of tax matters and pension payments yourself.

You can invoice your work though an invoicing service without establishing your own company. This is called light entrepreneurship.

You can also start your own business. Setting up a business in Finland is quick and easy, and opening a legal entity takes only a couple of weeks. Find out more about starting a business on the InfoFinland web page Starting a business .
