How do you freelance in Israel without opening a business?
You register with NETO, enter your client's details and the amount · and we send your client a tax invoice on your behalf. Once the client pays, you receive a payslip with full social benefits, straight into your bank account.

What does freelancing without an Osek file actually mean?

All you have to do is register in the NETO system and provide your basic details. The process is fully digital and done entirely online.

Enter the client's details, describe the service you are providing and the amount. Our system shows you a simulation of the net pay you will receive after tax and the required contributions.
3The invoice goes to your client
The system sends your client a tax invoice with all the details, for the amount you defined.
4You receive a payslip
As soon as your client pays, you receive a payslip and the payment lands in your bank account, with all the protections the law provides.
Lawful, supervised and formally licensed
NETO operates under a licence from the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Labor, and everything is carried out in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. We hold Manpower Contractor Licence no. 1565.
Verify our licence in the Ministry of Labor contractors registry
Until 2023 the licence was issued as a printed certificate. Since then the Ministry of Labor issues it and keeps it current directly in its online contractors registry · which is why the paper certificate shows a past date while the licence itself remains in force until 28.02.2029. Both are shown here side by side.

Questions and answers · freelancing without an Osek file
Is the service only for one-off work?
Not at all. The service covers every kind of work, whether it is a single job or ongoing engagements with the same client.
Is the service legal?
Yes. NETO operates under a licence from the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Labor and everything is done in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. We hold Manpower Contractor Licence no. 1565 · verify it in the public contractors registry.
How long does it take to issue an invoice?
The process is very quick · an invoice can be issued in about five minutes. The video guide on this page shows exactly how.
What does NETO's service cost a freelancer?
The service carries a fee of 5% on each invoice you issue, derived from the invoice amount your client pays, before VAT. There is no subscription, no minimum and no commitment.
Do I still get social rights this way?
Yes. You are employed by NETO for the engagement, so National Insurance, pension contributions and severance provisions are calculated for you and you receive a proper payslip · subject to the terms of the engagement and Israeli law.
Does this work if I am already a salaried employee elsewhere?
Yes. Many people use NETO for work on the side while holding a regular job. It is worth reading about tax on a second income in Israel so you know how the additional earnings are taxed.
Who is NETO right for · and who is it not?
It fits anyone invoicing occasionally or steadily who does not want the overhead of self-employment · one-off gigs, regular freelancing, side income next to a job, and work for foreign clients. If you run a large business with heavy expenses to deduct, an Osek with an accountant may serve you better · the honest comparison is in the full guide.
Can I work with several clients at once?
Yes · invoice any number of clients through NETO, and everything lands on one monthly payslip. Adding another client takes minutes, and ending work with one client does not affect the others.
