SELF-EMPLOYMENT - this measure is now exclusively for those who have been registered with the Employment Service for at least three months, so anyone who is employed but intends to become self-employed must register there to qualify for the financial incentive. This is based on several concrete examples. This represents a cost to the State and a huge time commitment. It might be worth considering the possibility that an individual can become self-employed directly after leaving an employer (or bankruptcy, redundancy, expiry of the employment relationship, etc.), under the same conditions, i.e. with the possibility of obtaining an incentive (€4 500).
