Vive helps Interim collective FYBE Finance

FYBE Finance, founded by Dedmer Taekema, is an innovative collaboration of 30 independent finance and M&A professionals. This collective offers each member the freedom of entrepreneurship combined with the power of a shared brand. FYBERS work together to support SMEs and investors with their financial challenges. They do this by presenting themselves as one brand and sharing their network and knowledge with each other. 

Need for long-term financial security

Independent professionals often have limited access to pension schemes that are available to employees of larger organizations. This was no different for the independent professionals at FYBE Finance. Pension accrual is, of course, extremely important for long-term financial security. That is why FYBE Finance chose to collaborate with Vive. Vive offers pension plans that can be adapted to the personal and professional goals of its members, with options ranging from conservative to aggressive investment strategies.

"How Vive differs from other retirement solutions is that you have a lot of freedom in the plan you can deploy. You can customize that a lot more. With regular providers, you have passive, aggressive or kind of a mediocre stand. And you can have much less of your own influence on that. So that's something that I think Vive does better, because they are much more person-centered than collective-centered." - Dedmer Taekema

With Vive's pension solution, FYBE members can decide for themselves how much they save and how their contributions are invested. This approach not only guarantees flexibility but also transparency, giving members a better understanding of pension accrual and making it less of a 'boring' topic. Dedmer Taekema emphasized: 

“Vive knows how to communicate well about the importance of awareness regarding pension accrual. They make it clear that you need to be involved in this and also show what it can bring you.”

Direct and personal contact creates a strong bond of trust

Vive's approach has led to increased satisfaction and financial security among FYBE's self-employed professionals. Members particularly appreciate the ability to adapt their pension plans to their changing professional situation and personal financial goals. In addition, the direct and personal contact with Vive has contributed to a strong bond of trust and a positive perception of the pension process.

"I would describe the cooperation as very positive. Especially also that bit of personal contact." - Dedmer Taekema

The collaboration between FYBE Finance and Vive illustrates the power of customization and flexibility in pension solutions for independent professionals. This model can serve as an example for other organizations that strive to provide financial security to their independent members or employees. And it is also available for self-employed professionals who work alone. Are you also self-employed and want to build a pension? Contact us to discuss the possibilities without obligation.
