## About Forlanso

Forlanso is an integrated management platform for managing remote work from anywhere in the world. Since the idea of remote work emerged through websites, its business model has been confined to the concept of freelancer marketplaces, which despite their many positives, have led to some negative outcomes. These include limiting the concept of remote work to freelancers only, lack of financial freedom due to control over a percentage of income deduction, numerous restrictions on building a complete digital identity for the person including ways to communicate with them, and lack of suitable channels and solutions in many regions for receiving financial entitlements.

This is where the idea of Forlanso began. A group of expert entrepreneurs gathered and conducted an in-depth study to find an innovative business model that offers solutions and alternatives to the problems and obstacles faced by remote workers. A phased plan was established based on the following foundations: to be inclusive of the concept of remote work in its different types, and to find a solution to the problems and negatives that exist in freelance work sites.

Forlanso platform was established in 2021 in Dubai Silicon Oasis in the United Arab Emirates with license number 2395 to present the comprehensive concept of remote work that suits various fields of work and meets the needs of companies and individuals. It provided solutions to financial difficulties, whether in payments or withdrawals.

Forlanso offers a comprehensive business model for remote work designed to meet the needs of companies, entrepreneurs, employees, and freelancers. The platform provides the following solutions: users earn their profits on the platform without any commission deductions, users can build a complete digital identity showcasing their skills and experiences, unrestricted communication with clients inside and outside the platform, diverse payment methods providing secure options, multiple means of transactions starting from microservices and digital products to various contracts for projects and remote employment, and various withdrawal methods for receiving entitlements through diverse withdrawal channels suitable for users around the world.

Forlanso platform is proud to be the first Arab platform to offer an integrated management model for remote work through the following business models: a model dedicated to company transactions with remote employees through contracting mechanisms, payment of entitlements, and managing financial affairs remotely; a model dedicated to remote employees to contract from companies and receive their entitlements; and a model dedicated to entrepreneurs and freelancers to create their own platform and manage their transactions with their clients remotely.

The platform continues its development journey in tools and means of remote work and adds everything new to be the leading platform in this field. Key development milestones include: launching a beta version for dealing through microservices without deducting a commission from the seller's income, developing the feature of building a complete digital identity which enabled freelancers and entrepreneurs to create their own platform, developing a financial network and providing withdrawal channels to receive entitlements in many countries in the Middle East in partnership with third parties, launching an upgraded version by adding contract types for employing companies, developing more administrative and financial tools, analytics, statistics, and increasing financial withdrawal channels, in addition to providing a digital currency payment system.

Forlanso was founded by three entrepreneurs: Kamal Abu Issa who serves as Founder and CEO, Abdulrahman Al-Mulla as Co-Founder, and Hussein Al-Zeer as Co-Founder. The company is registered and licensed in Dubai Silicon Oasis under license number 2395 and is headquartered in the Techno Hub in Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Forlanso is backed by Square 50 Ventures and has a team size ranging from 10 to 50 employees.

### Freelancer Profiles

Forlanso enables freelancers and entrepreneurs to build their complete digital identity.

The payment system supports employees' salaries with multiple withdrawal channels for employees to receive their salaries. Companies can follow up on business operations, track insights and statistics to help work efficiently, and organize projects and tasks properly to avoid losing track of deadlines.

### Escrow System

Forlanso uses an escrow system for payments and provides a documented digital environment for contracts and work delivery. The escrow system protects both buyers and service providers by holding funds securely until delivery is confirmed. Buyers can request a revision if delivered work deviates from the agreed scope. Either party may file a formal dispute report and Forlanso will respond within 24 hours.

Disputes are reviewed based on documented communications within the platform. Forlanso evaluates whether delivery aligns with agreed procedural terms such as file type, delivery time, and number of revisions. If a breach is verified, Forlanso may assist the affected party by providing supporting documents to their payment provider. Once delivery is confirmed by the buyer, no dispute or refund can be initiated. If a refund is approved, it is processed back to the original payment method used by the user through the authorized payment provider in accordance with their policies.

### Affiliate Program
