Background
Factofly was created to make it significantly easier to work as a freelancer in Denmark. Many people would like to take on tasks alongside a job, study or as a solo self-employed person – but are held back by CVR requirements, bureaucracy, system confusion and the risk of errors in tax, VAT or contracts.
Factofly was established in Copenhagen in 2020, and has since developed into Denmark's largest provider in its category. Factofly handles payroll, taxes, insurance, contracts and compliance - so freelancers can focus on work, and companies can hire safely, legally and compliantly.
The company is backed by the renowned Nordic fund Strive Ventures, which has invested in the ambition to create Europe's most accessible freelance solution.
Core service
Factofly is primarily a solution aimed at the freelancer, which is why the umbrella model is the most popular among Factofly's users. EOR, Hybrid EOR and other enterprise solutions are predominantly created at the customer's request.
Hybrid EOR is Factofly's "middle model" between freelancing and classic EOR. It is used when a company works continuously with the same specialist and wants the flexibility of a freelancer setup, but with more fixed frameworks, security and compliance. Factofly handles administration, contracts, documentation and payroll - without the company needing a classic employment relationship.
Umbrella (The Freelance Solution)
- Freelancers can invoice without CVR
- Factofly acts as the employer on the assignment.
- Payment as salary (employment tax, AM contributions, holiday pay, pension, etc. are handled)
EOR (Employer of Record)
- Companies can hire freelancers through Factofly
- Fully compliant set-up without creating local devices
- Contracts, payroll, insurance and administration in one solution
Hybrid EOR (Hybrid Employer of Record)
- Model between Umbrella and classic EOR
- Minimal risk for the company – only pay for time actually worked
- The consultant is guaranteed a minimum salary, typically 60% of full compensation, with the remaining 40% being triggered by work delivered
- Factofly thus guarantees the salary even if the consultant falls ill.

- Contracts, onboarding, consulting and workflows tailored to your needs

Trustpilot
Users highlight Factofly's high level of customer service and the ease of the platform.
“Always ready to help if there are any questions. And it's great that you don't have to think about settling taxes and VAT, but that Factofly handles this.”
“Factofly makes it so easy to be a new self-employed person. I don't have to worry about VAT or tax payments. And they are always on the phone when I have questions”
“I use Factofly to invoice my consulting services as a freelance business consultant. When someone does an extra good job with good customer service and efficient service, it should be appreciated like here. As a freelancer, you are a project employee at Factofly and can invoice your customers through them. Of course, this requires that all rules are followed and they ensure both this, invoicing as well as salary payment, payslip and reporting to Tax and holiday pay.
An example of their efficiency which is truly value for money:
On Monday, August 4, I send an invoice to a customer via Factofly. On Tuesday, August 5, the customer pays Factofly (an agreement I have with my customer about prompt payment). On Wednesday, August 6, Factofly confirms first thing in the morning that the money has been received and at the end of the day, Factofly confirms that the salary has been paid. On Thursday, August 7, the salary after tax and holiday pay, etc., is in my bank account (Factofly usually has 2 business days to pay the salary from the time the invoice payment is received by them, but here too their efficiency is surprising).
For each of the steps I mentioned above, I receive an email so that I am updated on what is happening. That email is called the “Daily Overview”.
I avoid all the hassle with the company, accountant, etc. and can concentrate on what I'm good at – my consulting activity. Their IT platform is super user-friendly and customer service is totally sweet and service-minded.
If anyone has any doubts: NO, I was not hired to write this. I just thought that when something is extraordinarily good, it should be mentioned. I can easily complain about something bad, but conversely, you should also remember to mention when something is good.”
Limitations
Factofly is not suitable for freelancers who want to sell physical or digital products, want to hire staff, or run a very expensive business. The platform is optimized for task-based freelancers – not those who want to establish a business with a CVR.
