- Abillio is not suitable if you need employee payroll or EOR services.


## What businesses ask us.
### Are the freelancers our employees?
No. They're independent contractors. Abillio provides the legal structure behind each invoice and isn't an employer of record.
### Who is the contract with?
An Abillio company in the EU, chosen by where the freelancer lives: Abillio OÜ (Estonia) for most countries, Abillio Services OÜ for Estonian residents, Abillio Services KS for Latvian residents.
### What does it cost?
4% of each paid invoice, 3% above €50k a month, custom above €80k a month. No subscription. SEPA payouts cost €1.
### How do we fund the wallet?
By bank transfer with the reference shown in your account, or by card. Card top-ups arrive instantly.
### Does "invoice paid" mean the freelancer has the money?
Not always. The payout to their bank is a second step, and the app shows where it stands.
