A rule of thumb for choosing
Invoicing without a company is best for you if you:
- Want to get started quickly with an assignment
- Prefer to focus on the work, not administration
- Take shorter or varying assignments
- Don't have large volumes where company administration would pay for itself
Your own company may be better if you:
- Plan long-term and have stable income
- Have larger invoice amounts where company costs become a small percentage
- Enjoy managing your own administration
- Want to build your own brand and company over time
Many people combine regular employment with invoicing without a company, and some invoice without a company for certain assignments while having their own company for others.
