You are not alone

Lots of people earn on the side. And the risk is real.

Side projects are normal now. Many people keep them quiet at work. But employers do notice, and some take action.

61%

of workers have a side hustle. Tech and consulting are the top two kinds.

Trouble usually starts when the side project grows but the paperwork does not. Set up the business side properly from day one. It costs less than fixing it later.

The problem

Your boss does not want you to run a business. But you can't stop either.

Most employers do not like staff having a business on the side. That is normal. But your side project is real, it makes money, and it is growing. So you are stuck in the middle.

You can't quit your job

It pays the rent. It may be tied to your work pass. It is your safety net.

You can't kill your side project

People pay for it every month. Stopping now means throwing that money away.

Running a company is a second job

A company, a bank account, contracts, invoices, app store paperwork, tax filings. You do not have the time.

You should not have to run a company to earn from your skills. Let Giinger be the company.

What we take off you

You stop running a business. You just do the work.

Giinger is the company your client deals with. We carry the business side. You deliver the work as our service provider.

Who we help

Three kinds of people. Pick the one that sounds like you.

People with a side project

You have a full-time job. You also build software or give expert advice to a paying client. You want to get paid without running a company.

App makers

Your app makes money. The app store wants a company and a bank account. Giinger can be your publisher, and you get your share every month.

Companies outside Singapore

You sell to clients in Singapore. They want to pay a local company. We sign with them, send a local invoice, and pay you.

Real cases from clients

What this looks like in real life.

Three common situations we are built for.

Real case 1

The software developer with a full-time job

Situation
Alex is a senior software developer at a large technology company. Outside working hours, he builds apps for independent clients and earns an extra $4,000 per month.
Problem
His client wants a proper B2B contract and company invoice. Alex also wants a clear separation between his employment and his independent business activities. His employment terms require him to check and obtain approval for certain outside activities.
Solution
Subject to the necessary approvals, our Singapore company contracts with the client, invoices for the project, collects the $4,000 and pays Alex's registered business under a subcontracting agreement.
Result
Alex has a documented commercial arrangement, clear payment records and less business administration to manage.

Real case 2

The employee who builds SaaS products

Situation
David works full-time as a product manager in a big bank. In the evenings he has built a small SaaS product with a paying business customer.
Problem
He wants to grow the product without immediately setting up and managing a separate client-facing company. He also needs to understand whether his employment agreement allows him to operate the business.
Solution
If the arrangement is legally appropriate, our company can manage an agreed commercial relationship with the customer, including contracts, invoicing and collection, with David's business engaged under documented terms.
Result
David can focus more on developing the product while the commercial responsibilities are handled through an agreed business structure.

Real case 3

The consultant with an overseas client

Situation
Sarah works as a senior consultant for a large company. An overseas business wants to hire her for a separate consulting project worth $3,000 per month.
Problem
The client prefers to work with a registered company rather than contract directly with an individual. Sarah also needs to check that the outside work is allowed under her employment and other applicable rules.
Solution
Where appropriate, our Singapore company contracts with the overseas client, invoices monthly and engages Sarah's eligible business to deliver the work.
Result
The client has a company to contract with, and Sarah has a documented subcontracting and payment arrangement.

These are example cases based on typical situations. Names and details are illustrative.

How it works

Four steps. No surprises.

  1. STEP 01

    Tell us

    Who is the client? What is the work? Who does it? How much does it earn?

  2. STEP 02

    We check

    We look at the client, the work and the money flow. If it does not look right, we say no.

  3. STEP 03

    We sign

    One contract between Giinger and the client. One between Giinger and you.

  4. STEP 04

    We run it

    We invoice the client, collect the money, keep our fee and pay you every month.

Price

One fee. Agreed before we start.

We take a share of the money we collect. No setup cost. No yearly company fees for you.

Side projects and apps

15–20%

Of what your client or app store pays. For projects earning S$1,500 or more each month.

Companies outside Singapore

5–15%

Of each invoice we send for you. Bigger, steady deals pay less.

What we do

  • Run the business side: contracts, invoices, payments, records.
  • Keep your details private, like any business keeps its partners' details.
  • Pay you on time with a clear record for your tax form.

What we don't do

  • Lie to anyone, or make false papers, for you or for us.
  • Change what your job contract or work pass allows. That stays your call.
  • Take every project. We can say no.

Straight answers

The questions everyone asks first.

Trust comes from clear answers. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
Is Giinger a real registered company?

Yes. Giinger Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore private limited company, incorporated in 2013, with UEN 201313537H. You can check it yourself on ACRA Bizfile, the official Singapore company register.

Is this legal?

Yes, when it is set up honestly. Giinger signs a real contract with your client and a separate service contract with you or your business. Nothing is hidden from the client and we never make false papers. Whether your own employment contract or work pass allows the work is your responsibility, and we ask you to check it before we start.

Will my employer find out?

We keep partner details private, like any business does. But we do not help anyone break their employment contract. If your contract needs approval for outside work, get that approval first. Our job is to remove the paperwork, not to hide anything.

Do I still pay tax on what I earn?

Yes. Giinger pays you under a written service contract and gives you a clean monthly record. You declare that income in your own tax return. In Singapore that is usually as trade income on Form B.

Who owns the work and the code?

Ownership of the work is written into the contracts before we start. In most cases the client gets what it pays for and your own tools stay yours, exactly as you would agree if you contracted directly.

How long does it take to get started?

From the same day to a week. Simple projects with a clear client can be reviewed and signed the same day. If the client needs its own vendor forms or the contract needs changes, it usually takes up to a week.

How and when do I get paid?

Once the client pays Giinger, we keep the agreed fee and transfer the rest to you every month, in SGD or in the currency you need.
