What if your freelances were paid when you collect ?
What if your missions were paid 3 times their price ?
Two companies sign a simple agreement: the work is invoiced markedly higher, and paid as the cash comes in. Nobody loses their independence, nobody fronts the cash.
A Belgian law contract between independent companies. Public, downloadable, to be reviewed before signing.
I am a consultant or a freelance
I am looking for better paid missions and I accept being paid as the company collects its revenue.
I am growing a company
I am ready to pay my freelances markedly more, in exchange for a spread payment that follows my revenue.
What you gain, what you accept
Both columns carry the same weight. That is exactly how the agreement works.
What you gain
- A rate you would not obtain on a standard mission.
- The choice of your missions, with no obligation to take any and no need to justify yourself.
- Your other clients, your methods, your tools: nothing changes.
- A balance that is never written off, even if you leave the programme.
What you accept
- You are paid as the company collects its revenue, not on a fixed date.
- Some months pay more than others. That is the very principle.
- Whatever has not been paid out yet stays recorded and carries over, with no time limit.
- Our advice: keep your standard missions alongside, two to three days a week here at most.
Four steps, and nothing else to do
The company publishes its missions
An objective in a few lines, a maximum number of days, an increased rate. Never a thirty page specification.
You take the ones that interest you
No obligation, no application to prepare, no need to justify yourself if you pass.
Every day worked is added to your balance
At the increased rate, not at your usual rate. You follow your balance continuously, so does the company.
Every month, the company pays out a share of its revenue
Between 5 and 12.5 % of its turnover, shared between all its freelances, in proportion to what each one is owed. It pays directly, you then invoice the amount received.
What if the company never paid me ?
That is the first question, and it is legitimate. Here are the four answers, all written in black and white in the contract.
It cannot leave without paying
Closing its programme requires it to have settled its debts towards its freelances. No exception.
Your balance is not written off
It carries over down to the last euro, survives your departure and the closing of the programme.
You see where the money comes from
Declared revenue, amount paid out, calculation of your share: everything is displayed, for every period.
You can have it checked
The contract gives you the right to have the figures audited by a third party, at your own expense.
What this is not
Four misunderstandings come up in every conversation. Best to clear them up right away.
Not employment
Two independent companies. No boss, no working hours, no exclusivity.
Not umbrella work
Nobody puts you on a payroll along the way. You invoice from your own company.
Not a fundraising
No capital is called. The programme only distributes what has been collected.
Not an investment
Your balance is not an investment and produces no yield.

You see the essentials before committing
The type of mission, the skills and the number of days are public. The rest opens up when you join the programme concerned.
