In tech circles, 'SaaS' is tossed around as often as a 'weekend' on a Friday. But have you heard of 'CaaS' (company-as-a-service)?👇 Freelancers live creative and busy lives. They jump from one gig to another working for different clients all across the world. How on earth can they keep up with all that and manage invoices and taxes? Surely freelancers have chosen this lifestyle to enjoy freedom - freedom from admin and being chained to a desk. That’s exactly what CaaS offers to freelancers. It handles all the administrative tasks, so freelancers can focus on creativity and clients. Simply put, it’s like hosting a big party, but instead of doing all the work yourself, you hire a company to handle everything for you while you enjoy the party. And who doesn't like the idea of enjoying the fun without worrying about the setup or cleanup? 😊 #freelance
