Get paid legally · without opening a business
For many freelancers, side-giggers and professionals in Israel, the first big question is: do I need to open a business in order to get paid? Registering a formal business · whether an exempt dealer or a licensed dealer · involves bureaucracy, tax reporting, bookkeeping and significant spending on accounting services. For someone who is just starting out, working on small projects or earning extra income, that overhead often does not make sense.
That is where NETO comes in with its Invoice as an Employee service · a simple, legal and digital way for freelancers to issue invoices to their clients and receive full payslips with all social benefits, without opening a business file. As a licensed manpower contractor in Israel (license 1565), NETO provides a solution recognized by the Tax Authority, National Insurance and pension funds. You get the best of both worlds: the freedom of self-employment with the security of being treated as an employee.

Opening a business file vs invoice as an employee
The same goal · getting paid legally for your work · reached two very different ways.
| What it takes | Opening your own business file | Invoice as an Employee with NETO |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | Register a VAT or Tax Authority file | None · NETO is your employer |
| Bookkeeping and filings | Ongoing reporting and annual filings | Handled · deducted at source |
| Social benefits | You arrange your own | Full payslip and benefits |
| Suitable for one-off work | Heavy overhead for a single job | Perfect for one invoice |
| Accounting cost | Accountant and software fees | 5% of the invoice amount |
| Time to first invoice | Days of setup and registration | Minutes, fully online |
When a business file may make more sense: if you have a consistent high income that already benefits from business deductions, if you employ staff or manage inventory, or if you carry large ongoing expenses (over 30% of your gross income) that may need VAT credits.
