Freelancing as a Senior

Do you have to stop working just because you’ve passed retirement age? No, of course not. There are many who choose to continue working as retirees full-time, part-time, or on the side as consultants. For some, it becomes a part-time pension, for others, it’s a continuation of working life on their own terms.

Invoice without your own company –
How it works

  1. Skapa konto

    You have a new assignment

    and you would like to invoice your client without having your own company.

  2. Skicka faktura

    You create and send your invoice

    when you have completed your mission. We handle all administration, VAT and tax for you.

  3. Få ut lön skattad och klar

    Your salary is paid to you, taxed and ready

    within 24 hours after your customer paid your invoice. Smooth and fast.

What is self-employment?

As a self-employed individual, you work with your own assignments similar to a freelancer or consultant, but without needing to start your own company. Instead, you invoice through Cool Company and during your assignment period, you operate under a specific fixed-term employment with us.

You choose when and if you work, and you find the assignments you want to work on yourself. Perhaps you take on assignments at a former workplace as a consultant, or maybe you’re drawn to freelancing with a new passion?


Some choose to freelance after retirement


“I’ve accomplished quite a bit in life, but failed at being retired. When the energy and desire are there, why should one stop?”

“I really enjoy working despite what my biological age suggests; I’ll be 74 this summer.”

“There’s plenty of great expertise and experience among us over-65s for employers to tap into.”
