State subsidies

Support offer

State support for setting up a company is supported by various institutions. These are the Federal Employment Agency (BA) and the European Social Fund (ESF).
The financial support provided by the Federal Employment Agency concerns two different levels:

  • The start-up subsidy is aimed at persons registered as unemployed who receive unemployment benefit. This subsidy is subject to a number of conditions (such as the submission of documents relating to the business plan, the submission of comments by an expert on the project or a certificate of self-employment from the trade office, but also that at least 150 days of unemployment benefit remain after the date of foundation).
  • Support through the so-called entry allowance is aimed at persons who receive basic insurance and serves as an integration of self-employed persons (but can also be applied for when taking up employment that is subject to social insurance contributions). This form of support is also linked to – as mentioned earlier – conditions.

Support from the European Social Fund is aimed, among other things, at supporting self-employment, entrepreneurship and business start-ups, including innovative micro-enterprises and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. This support is also linked to various conditions (such as publicity requirements).

In addition, the support addresses various areas related to business start-ups, such as advice on business management, attracting and securing skilled workers, environmental protection, the introduction of family-friendly measures in the company, and the organisation of work for the elderly and disabled.

Federal Employment Agency

Support offer

The Bundesagentur für Arbeit “BA” (federal employment agency) supports jobseekers with the following options:

  • Supervision by a personal contact person for better perception of various job offers as well as possible support for further training or retraining
  • Access to the online platform “Job Exchange”, which supports the job search through an individualised search based on qualifications and preferences

The spectrum of support for unemployed persons complements the previous points:

  • Financial support (e.g. unemployment benefit I or II, travel allowance, etc.)
  • Business start-up subsidy
  • Regular appointments with the personal consultant
  • Formal training (for the application)

Who can access this offer?

In Germany, a basic distinction is made between jobseekers and unemployed persons. Both forms are supported by the Federal Employment Agency in their search for a job. However, the measures, programmes and subsidies are differentiated in their forms (see: general description).
The designation or registration as a jobseeker results from the fact that the person in question is still in an employment relationship but ends within the next three months and is therefore subsequently unemployed.
It follows from this that the registration as unemployed means that you are no longer tied to any employment relationship.
