Can an unemployed person be a light entrepreneur?

Yes, you can! In fact, it's often highly recommended. Instead of passively waiting for the right job to come along, you can create one yourself.

What are the benefits for someone unemployed?

• Staying active: You stay connected to working life and build your network.
• Extra income: Your earnings improve your finances, even if they reduce your benefits slightly (adjusted unemployment allowance).
• Flexibility: You can take on individual gigs. Jobs lasting less than two weeks generally don't affect your unemployment status.

If you later get a permanent job or start studying, you can pause the light entrepreneurship service at any time. So there's no risk in trying it out.
