So, you’ve finally ditched the 9-to-5 grind, set up your home office, and proudly declared yourself a freelancer. Congratulations! You’re now the boss, the employee, and the janitor all rolled into one. But with great power comes great responsibility— or at least, the responsibility of figuring out how to keep the lights on, pay yourself, and keep the taxman at bay.
Enter the Opolis Freelancer Toolkit: your essential guide to tools and resources that will make your freelancing journey a whole lot smoother.
This isn’t just another list of generic apps. We’re diving into the powerhouse partnerships that Opolis has forged with Bench, ForUsAll, and the Freelancers Union to bring you the best of the best.

ForUsAll: Retirement Planning Made Simple
Freelancers don’t get 401(k)s handed to them on a silver platter, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a solid retirement plan. Enter ForUsAll, the retirement platform designed specifically for the self-employed. With ForUsAll, you can set up a Solo 401(k) with minimal hassle and maximum benefits.
Through our partnership with ForUsAll, Opolis members can access top-tier retirement planning tools that help you save for the future while enjoying tax advantages today.

Opolis and ForUsAll are like the peanut butter and jelly of financial planning: one handles the day-to-day, and the other ensures you’re set for the long haul.
Freelancers Union: Advocacy and Resources You Can Count On
Last but definitely not least, let’s talk about the Freelancers Union. If freelancing had an official fan club, this would be it. The Freelancers Union is more than just a community; it’s a movement. They provide resources, advocacy, and benefits designed to support independent workers like you.
From health insurance options to contract templates, the Freelancers Union is there to make sure you’re not going it alone. And thanks to our collaboration, Opolis members get even more access to the resources and protections that freelancers need to thrive.
