\"Factofly<\/span><\/div>

What is Factofly?<\/h4>\n<\/div>

Factofly is an invoicing solution aimed at freelancers, self-employed or other private individuals who want to invoice and get paid without having their own CVR number.<\/p>\n

Factofly handles the administrative part, which i.a. includes collection of payment, settlement of VAT and tax, and handling of expenses.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Who is Factofly for?<\/h4>\n<\/div>

Factofly's users are a motley crowd, from archaeologists to consultants. What they have in common is that they sell their time and expertise, and predominantly operate alone.<\/p>\n

Factofly is therefore primarily for private individuals who want to act like a company, but avoid the hassle and time spent on administration.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

What is Billy?<\/h4>\n<\/div>

Through Billy you can send invoices, book expenses, do VAT and accounting, and pay salaries to you and your employees.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Who is Billy for?<\/h4>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

Both Billy and Factofly solve a problem in their own way: they help you manage your business.<\/p>\n

The big question for you is what type of business you run - or want to run. If you choose to go the route of registered company and associated CVR number, insurance, business account, employees, etc., then you need an accounting solution. Like Billy for example.<\/p>\n

But if you "just" want to focus on your business, find and develop customers, and spend your time exactly where it's most fun, then Factofly can help you live a life of freedom. Having your own business is a great way to run your career, but the administrative part is not for everyone. That is why we have built Factofly as the easiest way to pursue your dream life.<\/p>\n

Which solution should you choose?<\/h2>\n<\/div>

Whether you should choose Factofly or Billy depends on your situation today and what ambition you have for your business.<\/p>\n

As an accounting system, Billy is a\u00a0cheap<\/em> way to get an integrated solution, but if you have a need in private sector, there are other more flexible solutions (such as Factofly) that you can use with advantage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
