Freelancers and IT specialists live on contracts and acts: a service agreement with the client, monthly acts of completed works, sometimes an NDA and amendments. Clients are often in another city or abroad, so a paper signature means lost time and the risk of “oh, we'll sign later.” eObig lets you sign everything with a QES online in minutes, with full legal force. Here is how it works for a sole-trader freelancer and IT.
Who it fits
- Sole traders in IT and digital — developers, designers, marketers, copywriters.
- Service freelancers — consultants, tutors, translators, video makers.
- Small studios and agencies — a flow of contracts and acts with several clients.
Which documents are signed online
- Service agreement with the client — the basis of cooperation.
- Act of completed works / rendered services — the monthly closing of settlements; details in electronic act of completed works for sole traders.
- NDA and amendments — confidentiality, changes in scope or price.
A quick start without plugins
A freelancer's biggest pain is not “signing” but “signing without a software dance.” In eObig the QES is formed right in the browser, without installing plugins or extensions (see how to sign a document online without plugins). Sign up by email — and sign your first document in a few minutes. There is a free plan to start.
The client signs without registration
The client does not need to create an account: you send the document as a link without registration, they open it and sign with their QES. This removes the main reason for refusals — “do I have to register too?”.
Working with clients from the EU and worldwide
A foreign client usually does not have a Ukrainian QES. Here it is worth agreeing in the contract in advance on an acceptable signing method: a Ukrainian QES, a qualified signature under the European eIDAS regulation (QES) or another format, and the law that governs the contract. For settlements within Ukraine between a sole trader and Ukrainian companies, the QES of both parties is enough. On the legal basis — the legal force of an electronic signature.
What else is useful for a freelancer
- AI assistant — quickly compose a contract or act from a draft (AI in document workflow).
- Archive with search — all contracts and acts by client in one place (electronic archive).
- API — embed signing into your own client dashboard or product (CRM integration).

In brief
- Freelance and IT rest on contracts and acts with remote clients — an electronic signature saves time and removes the risk of unclosed documents.
- The QES is formed in the browser without plugins; there is a free plan to start.
- The client signs via a link without registration; for clients abroad, the signing format is agreed in the contract.
