Start-up grant

The start-up grant is a form of financial support that guarantees the livelihood of a beginner entrepreneur for the period that the start-up and establishment of their business is estimated to take, up to a maximum of 12 months. The need for support is always considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the budgetary situation. The start-up grant can be applied for by an unemployed, currently employed or student entrepreneur.

Business developers are here to help you

We encourage you to meet with a business developer to review the operating conditions for your business idea before applying for the start-up grant. To apply for the start-up grant, you will need the following:

  • a clear business plan
  • a profitability calculation
  • a tax debt certificate
  • and a lender’s pledge if the business that you are starting up is based on borrowed capital.

Our employment area’s business developers are here to help you on your path to becoming an entrepreneur.
