What's frustrating you right now
Tax fragmentation across clients
Each client country wants paperwork, certificates, and proof of residency. Your accountant bills hourly to sort it out.
No entity → no Stripe
Stripe doesn't onboard sole proprietors in many countries. You're stuck with PayPal or invoice-and-wait.
IR35-style headaches
Clients prefer to work with a real company. Sole proprietorship signals 'disguised employee' to compliance teams.
Why an Estonian OÜ helps
One entity, every client
Invoice from a single EU-resident company. VAT rules consolidate. Client paperwork normalizes.
Stripe-eligible from day one
Estonian OÜs onboard to Stripe cleanly. SEPA + cards + payouts inside a week of setup.
Real company, real contracts
Your clients sign a B2B contract with a real entity. No IR35 ambiguity, no disguised-employee risk.
