Do I need a registered business or freelancer entity to work on juucy?

Yes — to work on juucy as a recruiter (Talent Partner), you must operate as an independent contractor/ freelancer with a registered business (e.g. a Gewerbe in Germany or an equivalent registration abroad).

‍

Why a registered business is required

• Recruiters on juucy provide services as independent contractors, not as employees.
• You confirm that you have a suitable trade or freelancer status that authorises you to carry out recruiting activities.
• This ensures that you can legally issue invoices and receive payouts for your work.

‍

What this means in practice

• Freelancer / Gewerbe in Germany:
  • In Germany, most recruiters register a small business (Kleingewerbe).
  • Typical steps include:
    1. Register your business at your local Gewerbeamt (cost: ~20–50 EUR).
    2. Notify the tax office (Finanzamt), which will issue you a tax number for invoices.
    3. Decide whether you want to apply the Kleinunternehmerregelung (small business regulation under §19 UStG) to avoid charging VAT if your turnover is below 22,000 EUR/year.
• International recruiters: You can also join juucy from outside Germany or the EU. The key requirement is that you can legally invoice juucy and receive payouts to your account.

‍

Important to know

• No employment relationship: Working on juucy does not create an employment contract. You remain flexible in when and how you work.
• Taxes & accounting: You are responsible for declaring your income and paying applicable taxes (income tax, VAT if relevant, social contributions).
• Independence: You can structure your work as you wish — juucy does not set fixed working hours or locations.
