Just brilliant. Can highly recommend Factofly to anyone who doesn't want to deal with admin. Plus the service ain't too bad either.

Once my projects started getting bigger, I needed a setup that also worked smoothly for my clients. With Factofly, that structure just runs in the background while I focus on the work.

Factofly is your infrastructure for project-based work.

Project work in Germany often runs on “probably fine.” The contract is probably fine. The invoicing setup is probably fine. The classification is probably fine. Until it isn’t.

Factofly provides the employment infrastructure behind project-based work. The project remains yours. The formal structure runs within a defined framework.

Independence in the work. Not alone in the responsibility.

Questions? We've got answers!

Do I need a specific residence status to use Factofly?2026-03-13T11:17:14+01:00

Factofly works best for people who already have the legal right to work in Germany.

During a project you are formally employed by Factofly. Between projects there is no active employment contract. Because of this, Factofly cannot guarantee continuous employment of the kind required for certain visas or residence permits.

If your residence status includes specific conditions around employment, you should check whether project-based employment fits your situation before using Factofly.

Many Factofly users, for example, are:

  • EU citizens

  • People with permanent residence in Germany

  • Individuals whose residence permit allows unrestricted employment

If you are unsure, it is best to clarify your situation with a legal advisor or the relevant immigration authority.

Can I use Factofly while still employed elsehwere?2026-03-09T11:19:56+01:00

Possibly. Secondary employment is generally permitted in Germany, but it depends on your employment contract and, where applicable, the conditions of your residence permit (for example a Blue Card). We recommend reviewing your individual situation in advance.

Do I need to register as a freelancer?2026-03-09T11:24:42+01:00

In den meisten Fällen nicht. Da das Projekt innerhalb eines Beschäftigungsrahmens läuft, musst du für dieses Projekt keine eigene freiberufliche Struktur aufsetzen. Individuelle Situationen können variieren, daher prüfen wir einzelne Fälle sorgfältig.

How does payment work?2026-03-09T11:19:57+01:00

Your client pays Factofly for the project. Factofly runs payroll and pays you a salary for the duration of the project, including the relevant taxes and social contributions.

Do I lose flexibility with Factofly?2026-03-09T11:19:57+01:00

No. Your day-to-day way of working does not change. You decide which projects to take on, how you deliver the work, and how long you work on them. The difference lies in the formal structure in the background.

Do I choose my clients and negotiate my rates myself?2026-03-13T11:20:14+01:00

Yes. The project remains yours. You decide who you work with and under what terms. Factofly provides the employment structure around the project.

What Factofly is(n't)

Factofly isn't a marketplace or a platform.

Factofly is infrastructure.

We enable project-based work within an employment model. You work independently on your project. The employment setup, payroll and social contributions run through a defined framework. This preserves independence in the work without carrying the full formal responsibility alone.

How it works

  • Project gets defined
    Project, scope, and deliverables are agreed upon.
  • Employment via Factofly
    A safe structure applies for the duration of the project.
  • Delivery & Approvals
    Factofly handles billing, payroll, taxes, social security contributions, and insurance.

For people who prefer working on projects over working with uncertainty.

For experts

You work project-based and want to focus on your performance without navigating the formal structure alone.

For businesses

You work with external experts and want project-based collaboration to run within a clearly defined structure.
