A New Financial Solution for Independent Professionals

London, United Kingdom, May 12th, 2025, FinanceWire The Juuli Visa Corporate Card has officially launched across Europe, bringing a tailored business financial solution to meet the unique commercial needs of the continent’s growing freelance community. The Juuli Visa Corporate Card, issued in partnership with Stripe, offers freelancers the financial tools they need to manage their professional expenses, separate business from personal spending, and streamline their operations. “We’re thrilled to introduce the Juuli Visa Corporate Card to Europe’s dynamic freelance community,” said Sinan Elver, CEO of Juuli. “Independent professionals run legitimate businesses that require proper financial infrastructure. Until now, many freelancers have struggled to access appropriate business payment solutions, often forced to mix personal and professional finances. Our corporate card solves this challenge by offering features specifically designed for business expense management and professional financial operations.” The Changing Freelance Landscape The European freelance landscape is undergoing significant transformation. In the Netherlands alone, the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KVK) reported that there are now 1.7 million self-employed persons, representing a 3.1% year-over-year increase. While this growth is slower than previous years, it demonstrates the continued resilience of the freelance economy despite regulatory changes. According to a recent Forbes analysis, leading industry experts observe that the most effective workforces today integrate stability with specialized expertise and agility—a combination increasingly delivered by freelancers, particularly as organizations seek adaptable talent amid evolving market conditions. A Corporate Card Designed for Professional Expenses The Juuli Visa Corporate Card arrives as research shows 63% of workers transitioning to freelance cite scheduling flexibility as their primary motivation. According to Harvard Business Review, nearly 70% of independent workers now report feeling more secure working independently—a dramatic increase from just 32% in 2011. This growing segment requires dedicated business expense tools that match their professional needs, especially as: 80% of corporate leaders plan to increase their use of freelancers during periods of uncertainty 73% of tech companies have already integrated teams of freelancers and employees 71% of businesses report freelancers provide greater agility during economic fluctuations Over half of Gen Z workers are engaging in freelance work, with 53% freelancing full-time Average annual freelance business revenues range from $83,788 to over $104,342 in top markets The newly launched corporate card responds to documented challenges freelancers face in the financial sector. A 2024 study by the European Freelancers Association found that 67% of independent professionals reported difficulties obtaining appropriate business banking services for their professional operations, with traditional providers often requiring proof of consistent business income or substantial minimum balances. Juuli’s corporate solution includes both physical and virtual corporate card options without activation or annual fees. The Juuli Visa Corporate Card does not require credit checks—addressing a significant barrier for freelancers with variable business income patterns. The card integrates business expense tracking capabilities and offers global business payment functionality, reflecting the increasingly international nature of freelance operations where 43% of European freelancers report conducting business with clients in multiple countries. The Juuli Visa Corporate Card is available to freelancers throughout the European Economic Area (EEA) and is issued by Stripe Technology Europe Limited pursuant to a licence from Visa Europe Limited. As the freelance economy continues to reshape modern business, proper financial infrastructure becomes increasingly critical for independent professionals’ success. With the Juuli Visa Corporate Card, Europe’s 1.7 million freelancers can now operate with the same financial legitimacy and capabilities previously reserved for traditional corporations—representing a significant step forward in the professionalization and growth of the independent workforce.
