About “From Freelance Translator to Boutique LSP Founder”
Hi, I’m Tim Renders, a former freelance translator who turned a one-person gig into Entre les lignes, a boutique language agency that has generated millions of euros in revenue.
Over the past decade, I’ve built my business from the ground up, starting with no roadmap, no team, and no idea where it would lead.
Today, I still run the agency, but my focus is evolving. I now mentor other freelance translators who want to build their own boutique language service provider (LSP), something purposeful, profitable, and personal.
What I Write About
This is the place where I document everything I’ve learned (and am still learning). Expect stories, insights, and lessons from:
Going from freelancer to founder
Pricing, positioning, and client acquisition
Hiring and managing a remote team
Building systems to scale
Mistakes I’ve made, so you don’t have to
Whether you’re just starting out or dreaming of growing beyond solo work, you’ll find ideas, inspiration, and guidance here.
Who This Is For
This is for freelance translators and language business owners who:
Want to build a business, not just take on more projects
Care about quality, long-term relationships, and growth
Are curious about what it really takes to run a boutique agency
Want to work smarter, not just harder
If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
Let’s Connect
If you're interested in working together 1-on-1, I offer mentoring for translators ready to take the next step towards building their business.
