If you choose this option, the following conditions apply: You may work a maximum of 14 hours and 59 minutes per week (which you bill to a client) and earn an additional \u20ac165 (profit). Anything beyond that will be deducted from your unemployment benefits.    <\/p><p>To apply for the startup grant, you must convert your business from a side business to a primary business on the day you submit your application.<\/p><p>In addition, it\u2019s important that you\u2019re eligible for Unemployment Benefit 1. This is the case if you have worked full-time as an employee for at least 12 months in the last 24 months. It doesn\u2019t matter how many employers you\u2019ve worked for, and the 12 months do not have to be consecutive.    <\/p><p>12 months means 12 months of eligibility for Unemployment Benefit 1.<\/p><p><strong>Tip: It\u2019s best to have your current employer terminate your employment in order to avoid a waiting period. Experience also shows that the employment office is more willing to support you on your path to self-employment if you were laid off than if you resigned on your own.
