Disability benefit
Getting sick is a risk that all self-employed people run. Since we at The Bookie believe in the power of the network, we looked for two alternatives to disability insurance where that network comes in handy: Common Easy and the Broodfonds.
The monthly contribution that you transfer to your own account via Common Easy or the Broodfonds is private capital, not a business expense and therefore not deductible. You must declare the balance of your account every year for income tax purposes, via your checklist in The Bookie Webapp. If you receive donations from your common or bread fund, you do not pay income tax on them, because donations are voluntary, so they are neither income from work nor benefit entitlement.
Advantages
Help friends, acquaintances and colleagues from your network
Get a backup for up to two years
No exclusion by your policy
Get your savings back when you quit

By signing up for The Bookie's network, you can see which of your fellow Bookie Bosses are also affiliated with Common Easy.
Since it is a young initiative, you may not find many entrepreneurs yet. Feel free to invite colleagues, including non-Bookie Bosses. And also join other commons if you work there, such as Utrecht, De Vechtclub XL, Seats2Meet, the Court of Cartesius.
Until you set up your coverage and start saving, you're not committed to anything. So feel free to look around. The Bookie Network
Broodfonds (Bread fund)
A bread fund is a collective provision for incapacity for work, developed by and for entrepreneurs. Small groups of a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 50 self-employed persons with different professions agree in a bread fund to support each other with donations in the event of incapacity for work. Bread funds are affordable, small-scale and transparent.
Advantages
offline strong due to personal involvement based on recurring meetings
small circle of up to 50 people
The BroodfondsMakers offer help with administrative matters and donations and advise on the decision-making process of your association
The Bookie took the initiative to set up its own Broodfonds to support our Bookie Bosses in times of illness. The first meetings were planned and the foundation of the Broodfonds is a fact. Read more information here.
Since a bread fund is established by entrepreneurs themselves (together with the bread fund makers), the baton has been handed over to the secretary of the participating entrepreneurs.
