Gig work is an excellent source of extra income

Gig-work refers to short "stints", usually of one or a few shifts. In some cases, however, it can last for a longer period, usually a few weeks.

For example, there may be a need for a casual worker due to the absence of a permanent employee. For this reason, a company's need for gig work may arise at the last minute, even on the morning of the same working day. Gig work can also be seasonal when freelancing can be a permanent solution for many.

Freelancing allows you to earn from your passion

Freelance work is very much like gig work. In both you can choose your own working hours, allowing you to take days off and holidays at a time of your choosing. In addition, the choice of work location makes both forms of work flexible. However, unlike temporary work, 'freelancing' can in some cases be assimilated to self-employment.

The cheapest way to start freelancing is to sign up for our light entrepreneur service. The start-up, running and invoicing is free-of-charge and you can decide to stop using the service anytime - there are no hidden fees.

If you already have a clientele or a great business idea you should think about becoming a private trader. This is the most common business model in Finland even-though it has some monthly fees.

"In the beginning it was not easy, because there was so much new information, and a lot to clarify regarding taxes and insurances. I wasn't sure what information was relevant and applied to me specifically. Now that I'm FREE.fi's customer, it doesn't matter what is my background. There are a lot less things to clarify now."
