Love the work. Skip the admin.
You work independently on your projects, employed by us for as long as each one runs.
You bring the project, we handle the contract, salary, taxes and social insurance. When it ends, so does the employment. No invoices, no Scheinselbständigkeit risk.
– Louise, Brand Consultant
Your projects, our infrastructure.
You work independently on projects. Factofly provides the employment infrastructure within a clearly defined employment framework. Administration and social contributions run through us. Abwicklung und Sozialabgaben laufen über uns. Der Start in Deutschland erfolgt in kleinen Gruppen. Zugang erhältst du über die Warteliste.
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.

Simplify your career
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!
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.
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.
No. Since the project runs within an employment framework, you do not need to set up your own freelance structure for that project. Individual situations can vary, so we review each case carefully.
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.
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.
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.
