My name is Jan van Egmond and I believe our money should support who we want to be. Not be a burden to keep you up at night. As a multiple small business owner and artist myself, I know the struggles that creep up on you along the way. So when the corona pandemic, I started helping people for free to remedy their financial stress. That’s when I got thinking: what if we can create financial self-confidence to those who need it the most, in a socially responsible way?
Hence, Lemonade Consulting was born. Tailor-made consulting to make you a self reliant pioneer, charged at a fair fee. We service both starting and established creatives and freelancers, providing a reduced fee for people with lower incomes next to our regular fee.
Our expertise lies in the creative and artistic sector, helping you deal with questions of fulltime or parttime self-employment, handling subsidies and alternative or foreign earnings, consulting for pension and insurances and your unique cases of "Where do I even start with this?!". With that, we focus on Eenmanszaken, VOF's and Stichtingen. We explicitely do not service BV's and employment administrations, but are happy to find you a referal among our colleagues.
Whether you are an established professional artist, a Dutch creative freelancer, international expat, or simply started your own business: you deserve the support to stay financially fit. So you can focus on what you love doing most.
As of 2022, Edel Saedi and Jelle de Bruijn have supported me in growing and developing the foundation of Lemonade Consulting. Edel is an expert income tax processor and arduous legal researcher, just as Jelle is a coding genius with a knack for smoothing out complexities. As per 2024, both of them set out to follow their own path in life and career, and thus the Lemonade Team is back to just me, Jan.
I am incredibly grateful for Edel and Jelle's contributions to this business, and the lessons that we have learned together and from each other.
In the coming year, I will have new spots for internships and employees to continue this journey together. Should you wish to work here or glean some of our experience, feel free to send me your request at admin@lemonadeconsulting.nl.
