Have you thought about setting up your own business but found the red tape too challenging?
Light entrepreneurship is a great choice if you prefer to leave tedious paperwork to the OP Light Entrepreneurship service. This will leave you with more time to devote to your core business and billable work. Light entrepreneurs often start out as part-time entrepreneurs alongside paid employment. Some part-time entrepreneurs become full-time entrepreneurs over time.
When setting up a business, you should consider matters such as how to keep accounts and issue invoices, and where to get help with the twists and turns of entrepreneurship. We can keep the accounts and do tax returns for you via the OP Light Entrepreneurship service. It is also an easy way of having invoices sent to your customers. You’ll also have the support of our Customer Service through chat (in Finnish), where our specialists will advise you on entrepreneurship.
We’ll apply for a business ID on your behalf as an OP Light Entrepreneur. With a business ID, you can become a private trader and are entitled to value-for-money benefits. These include tax-deductible purchases for business purposes. For example, a freelance photographer can deduct cameras and other equipment they use. In addition, as an OP Light Entrepreneur you are entitled to VAT relief, depending on the invoiced amount. Such benefits will leave you with more money in your pocket than you would have without a business ID.
