FOR FREELANCERS & INDEPENDENTS
Do the work. Get paid. Every time.
Chasing invoices is unpaid work. Bulear puts your payment in escrow before you start, gives every deal clear terms, and settles disputes through an impartial judge — so you can focus on the work, not the worry.
The freelancer's tax
Independent work is booming — and so are the ways it goes wrong.
- Late and missing payments — 85% of freelancers are paid late, and more than half have gone completely unpaid at least once. In creative work, nearly half of all invoices arrive late.
- 90-day waits — Late creative invoices routinely stretch to 90 days. That's three months of your money quietly funding someone else's business.
- No recourse — When a client disappears or disputes the work, you're on your own — and the cost of pursuing it usually outweighs the invoice itself.
- Proving you're worth hiring — New clients have no easy way to verify your history, and you have no easy way to verify theirs. Trust between strangers is the bottleneck.
By the numbers
How Bulear protects your work
- Paid up front, into escrow — Before you lift a finger, the client's payment is committed and locked. It's released to you on the terms you agreed — not whenever they get around to it.
- Clear terms, no ambiguity — Every job is a proposal you can accept or counter. Scope, price, and deadline are agreed and recorded before the work begins.
- Disputes settled fairly — If there's a disagreement, an impartial judge reviews the terms and the record and decides. You're never left to absorb the loss alone.
- Verified clients only — Everyone you work with has passed an identity check. No anonymous clients who vanish the moment the invoice is due.
What you get
- Certainty you'll be paid — The money is committed before you start, and the rules for releasing it are agreed in advance.
- A reputation that travels — Completed contracts build a verifiable track record that wins the next client.
- Get discovered — List your services and be found by verified companies looking for exactly your skills.

Common questions
Do I need to understand crypto or write any code?
No. Bulear is built for business people, not engineers. You set up your company, add your team, make decisions, and sign contracts in plain language — the same way you'd use any modern web app. There's nothing to install and no code to write.
How long does it take to get started?
Minutes. You create a company, set who owns what, and choose how decisions get made in a short guided flow. There are no formation lawyers, filing agents, or multi-week waits before you can operate.
Is a Bulear company legally compliant?
Compliance is built in. Every company is checked against UK, EU, and US rules — the system warns you early about issues and blocks the high-risk ones before they happen. Every member is identity-verified, and your company earns a legitimacy score you can show partners and investors.
Is everything about my company public?
Only what you choose. You decide what appears on your public directory profile. Sensitive documents, terms, and keys stay encrypted and visible only to the people you specifically authorize — so you can prove your track record without leaking your business secrets.
How do I know I'll actually get paid?
Payment is committed before the work starts. When both sides accept a contract, the funds are locked in up front and released on the terms you agreed. If something goes wrong, either side can raise a dispute and an impartial judge reviews it — no chasing invoices.
Can my existing company use Bulear?
Yes. Bring your team, set your ownership structure and governance, and run proposals, contracts, and your treasury alongside what you already do. New or established, the setup is the same.
What happens if there's a disagreement?
Either party can open a dispute on a contract. An impartial judge reviews the terms and the record and settles it. Because every decision and signature is recorded, there's a clear, tamper-evident history to settle on — not a 'that's not what we agreed' argument.
Who can take part?
Anyone who passes a one-time identity check. A single person can be a founder of one company, a member of another, and a contractor to a third — all from one verified identity that travels with them across the ecosystem.
