FAQ

The questions everyone asks

Everything you need to know about guaranteed payments, taxes, and getting paid on paper.

Is my money actually safe?

Yes. Money moves through regulated, licensed payment partners — On Paper holds no licenses and never touches funds outside that rail. Escrowed money is held until you approve the work.

How does the tax set-aside work?

Each payout, we hold back a percentage (you choose — 20–35%) into the freelancer's tax vault. It's their money, held safely, withdrawable to their bank anytime. No more April surprises.

What does it cost?

Free during early access. Long-term, a small fee per guaranteed transaction plus optional subscriptions — always cheaper than getting your taxes wrong.

What if the work isn’t delivered?

Either side can open a dispute with evidence. The creator resolves it by releasing payment or taking a refund — fairly, with a record.

Do I need an LLC or business entity?

No. You can start as yourself today. Entity formation and tooling come later, when you’re ready to scale.

Can I pay more than one freelancer at once?

Yes. Split a single job across your whole team — each person gets their own guaranteed share, their own tax set-aside, and their own payout, all from one funded job.
