Find other work tasks and assignments
Not all services customers need fit ready-made categories. In Tyoon’s Other services and tasks category you can find various local and remote assignments that require practical skills, specialised abilities or flexible help.
Customers can post individual tasks, short work gigs or broader assignments. As a service provider you can review the task description, assess whether the work matches your skills and send the customer your own offer.
Tyoon suits light entrepreneurs, sole traders, limited companies, freelancers and other independent service providers.
Registration is free, and there is no monthly fee.

Which business form can you use to accept tasks?
Service providers operating under different business forms can use Tyoon. The suitable operating form depends on how regularly you work and what kinds of services you offer.
Light entrepreneur
Light entrepreneurship can suit someone who accepts individual or occasional tasks without their own company. As a light entrepreneur you can find assignments on Tyoon and invoice the work through the invoicing service of your choice. Make sure yourself that the invoicing service’s terms and insurance cover the task you carry out.
Light entrepreneurship may suit you, for example, when you:
- do a few work gigs a month
- offer practical help as a side activity
- want to try selling services
- do not yet know whether the activity will become regular
- invoice the customer through an invoicing service
- offer tasks that are easy to define clearly
Sole trader
A sole proprietorship suits an independent service provider who regularly accepts tasks and offers services under their own name or business brand. Tyoon can help you find new customers and fill your work calendar with different assignments.
A sole proprietorship may suit, for example:
- an entrepreneur offering general assistance services
- an event assistant
- an errand service provider
- a provider of organising and coordination services
- a freelancer
- a local multi-service entrepreneur
- someone offering temporary practical help to businesses
Limited company (Oy)
A limited company service business can use Tyoon to find new customers and requests for quotes. The company can itself choose which assignments to respond to and who performs the work.
The service may suit a company that offers, for example:
- several different services
- event and trade fair help
- outsourced practical tasks for businesses
- packing and organising services for goods
- project-based work help
- service packages involving several employees
- ongoing assistance services for businesses
General partnership or limited partnership
A general partnership or limited partnership can also register as a service provider. This may suit, for example, a small family business or a multi-service company run jointly by several people.
Local assistance tasks
A customer may need a reliable person to handle a one-off task in a specific locality.
Local assignments may include:
- • picking up an item from a shop

- • taking photos of a property or product
- • receiving a parcel
- • queuing
- • running errands on the customer’s behalf
- • organising goods
- • simple assistance at an event
- • guiding a person through a local service
In your offer it is worth stating: the area you operate in; when you can carry out the task; whether travel costs are included in the price; whether the customer needs to provide a power of attorney; how completion of the task is evidenced; whether receipts, photos or a written report are needed. Do not accept a task where acting on the customer’s behalf requires a right or authorisation you do not have.

- • organising materials
- • packing goods
- • preparing customer materials
- • distributing samples
- • preparing an event
- • processing online store orders

The service provider should clearly agree with the customer whether the task is carried out as an independent assignment or whether the nature of the work could resemble an employment relationship.

- • renaming files
