Find your path

For freelance developers

You build software for clients as a solo dev. This is how to run it as a business in Europe — contracted, banked, invoiced and taxed — and how to turn client work into your own products and recurring income instead of an endless queue of projects.

Is this you?

  • You quote a flat fee, the scope balloons, and the margin disappears.
  • Contracts are thin, IP terms are vague, and chasing payment is normal.
  • You trade time for money and rebuild similar things for different clients.
  • You want your own product or SaaS earning while you sleep, not just billable hours.
