What is light entrepreneurship?
Light entrepreneurship is a new way to enjoy the freedom and independence of entrepreneurship without all the responsibilities that come with your own business. Here at LiveRing, you can get valuable experience about entrepreneurship and have all the support that we as a company and a team can provide for you.
When you are working as a salesperson and a light entrepreneur, you will work independently with our sales team and then invoice LiveRing through a billing service. You don’t have to start your own firm or have a business ID when you are working as a light entrepreneur. The billing service will take care of the bureaucracy so you won’t have to worry about that.
Who can be a light entrepreneur?
Salespeople are not the only ones that use the light entrepreneurship model, and freelancing work is getting more popular in Finland. Bloggers, coaches and all different types of freelancers use the light entrepreneurship model and services. It is a great option, since you get to be your own boss and still have the safety and support from us and the light entrepreneurs’ billing service.
You are your own boss, but not alone

For example, we will pay your travelling expenses, when you are travelling more far away, and take care of the sales locations for you.
