We take care of all the billing, payment of your wages, and workers’ compensation insurance.
Find your own clients, set your own price and start your freelance career!
Are you an artist, performer or collaborator in the creative sector? Then Tentoo Art, Tentoo’s social agency for artists (“SBK” in Dutch), is definitely for you.
We provide comprehensive payroll services for those working as freelancers in the creative industry. Although you do not have to become self-employed, you do choose your own clients, negotiate your price and the content of the job.
The rest of the work is for us: from contracts and invoices, to your workers’ compensation insurance, vacation pay and social security contributions.
In addition, you can also come to us for tailored advice on art work benefits, unemployment, copyright and other administrative questions, so you only have to deal with what matters: presenting your creative talent to the general public.
The choice of whether or not to become self-employed is not an obvious one for (beginning) freelancers. That’s why at Tentoo we developed a simple test to get you started.
Take the test
To make good pricing arrangements with your client/freelancer, it is important that you talk about the same amounts.
After all, the billing amount for the client is ≠ gross pay ≠ net pay for the employee.
A schematic overview:
Invoice amount to client excl. VAT
– Expenses
– Dimona cost
/ Coefficient (=patron employer charges + SFU contributions + work accident insurance + Tentoo operating costs)
= Employee’s gross salary
– NSSO employee contribution (pension accrual, unemployment, health insurance, family allowance, annual vacation, etc.)
– Withholding tax (=an advance on the employee’s personal income tax)
= Net salary employee (+ any expenses)
As a job student, there are a number of things to consider:
You have 475 hours per year in which you may work at reduced social contributions.
You must respect your child support fund’s rules about the number of hours you can work per quarter.
If you earn too much, you may have to pay taxes yourself and your parents may have to pay more taxes because you are no longer “dependent” on them.

Your operation is always correct and fast!
We have been working with TENTOO for years and they have since become completely intertwined in our operation. They are very flexible and maintain personal contact where necessary, yet two things that are very important within the film industry.
My assistants and I have been working with Tentoo for many years and we have only had good experiences with it. Everything goes super smooth, professional and clear. I could not imagine a better partner for the administration and compensation of my assistants.
Would I recommend Tentoo to others? For me it works great because it’s a personal and easy contact. If you’re a fan of that, try it too! The collaboration is incredibly smooth, I wouldn’t know why I would work with anyone else.
We think it’s super cool to work with Tentoo. Your tool is very user-friendly, intuitive and very clear. We also get very few questions from our staff, so we think that’s great!
At the start of our cooperation, Tentoo distinguished itself with their online approach, which made it much easier and more flexible for us and our freelancers. Besides, they no longer had to go to an interim office first with papers etc.
The cooperation with Tentoo is frictionless. The set-up was quick and they know what they are talking about. What I like is that they are also proactive in dealing with any contacts with the Belgian government.
