It pays to compare! Choose the best invoicing service just for you. Light entrepreneur and invoicing services have increased rapidly as light entrepreneurship has grown rapidly. Today, a light entrepreneur can really afford to choose – a comparison in most cases really pays off.

Almost all invoicing services charge a percentage of the invoicing amount invoiced by the light entrepreneur for the use of the service. The average service charge rate for different services varies between 9% and 5%. Very few offer fixed-price invoicing. The advantage of a fixed-price service charge is that the amount of service charges in euros does not increase as the invoicing volume increases. Below are pricing options for well-known invoicing services.

The comparison shows an example calculation of the service charge for a light entrepreneur charging €3000/month for four different services. At the most expensive rate of €3000 VAT 0%, the light entrepreneur pays €240 for one invoice and at the cheapest rate only €49. The difference can therefore be as much as €191 per invoice at this rate, and even more if the invoice amount increases!
The services often work on the same principle. A light entrepreneur invoices for the work he or she has done without having his or her own business ID. The billing service sends the invoice and takes care of the payment. Depending on the service provider, many services also include many other features to make life easier and more secure. These include insurance for your business, pension insurance (YEL insurance), legal obligations such as paying taxes and YEL contributions, bookkeeping and much more. However, a wide range of services may involve unforeseen additional charges, which you should be aware of. Fortunately, most service providers offer customer service and advice through a variety of channels, and the best way to ensure the content of the service and how it works is to contact the service's customer service directly.

Many people become part-time light entrepreneurs in addition to full-time work or studying. Maybe someone only wants to work from time to time on a gig basis. As a light entrepreneur, you can also safely test your business idea, the carrying capacity of your wings in your field or simply how the entrepreneur's life feels.

You can also set up your own online store where you can sell your services and, for example, handmade products.
Compared to the entrepreneur, the everyday life of a light entrepreneur is carefree, but remember the basics. You take care of your own customer acquisition and work gigs, from start to finish. Even if we at Truster take care of all the red tape, record for yourself what jobs you've done, for who and when, how much money you've spent on procurement, and how much money you've made. These routines will help you think like an entrepreneur if you plan to start your own business later.
Almost anyone, regardless of age, stage of life and background, can become a light entrepreneur. If you have common sense and attitude in place, you can learn everything else. Even the job or profession you dream of.
Light entrepreneurship offers opportunities that the job seeker did not have before. You can create a job for yourself in an instant where you can do the work you like and decide on your own schedules. It might be the best job you've ever had. Customer acquisition and an entrepreneurial lifestyle require a little effort and self-discipline, but it's worth it.

With Truster you'll get to handily invoice gigs that you only do occasionally for different subscribers. You don't have to share your tax card and hope that the subscriber knows how to handle all employer contributions. The invoicing service makes life easier for your subscriber, too, because they can only pay the invoice for the work you do.
The subscriber may be a private individual or a company, it is irrelevant. You only make an invoice through the invoicing service. We're done! Being a light entrepreneur does not require any other paperwork from you. We invoice your subscriber and pay your salary into your account.
You may have thought that it would be nice to do a side job in addition to a full-time job sometimes, but getting a side job relationship seems hard. How did the tax business go again? As a light entrepreneur, you can agree on side work right away. We take care of paperwork, taxes and obligations.
Keep in mind, however, that your tax rate depends on how much you earn per year for all your work combined. The tax rate for a small side earning may be higher than you thought. It is a good idea to keep the tax authorities up to date with the earnings for the whole year so that you do not have to pay back taxes later. Also take into account your tax rate when pricing your side job.

You're interested in entrepreneurship, but a little nervous, too? You can first try entrepreneurship as a light entrepreneur, how your business idea is performing and how the entrepreneur's lifestyle feels. You're not committing to anything yet, and you can change your mind at any time. As more and more customers accumulate and the future of the business looks bright, you can easily establish a business name or even a limited liability company.
