What is light entrepreneurship?
Light entrepreneurship is a new, flexible form of work that enables people to start out as entrepreneurs easily without a business ID.
With the UKKO.fi service, you can invoice, as a private individual, for work you have done within a contractor relationship.
- You can choose your clients and set the price for yourself.
- You have no need to worry about business bureaucracy since we handle all of the required paperwork such as taxes, insurance payments, payment reminders and, if necessary, debt collection.
Why light entrepreneurship?
There are many reasons for this, such as life situations. As a light entrepreneur, you will have the freedom to work on your own terms, while ensuring that all invoicing-related payments and notifications are duly handled.
You get to decide when you work, for whom and at what price. You will have more time, because, with respect to invoicing, we will handle the paperwork on your behalf. You can use this time in any way you like, doing just what you love.
As a UKKO.fi light entrepreneur, you will have no recurring monthly fees, making it easier to start out as an entrepreneur. See our price list.

You are an occasional worker and setting up your own business is not beneficial
