UNDERSTANDING FUNDING
AVGS start-up coaching through approved training providers
We support you personally as you prepare for self-employment. AVGS-funded coaching takes place within an approved programme of an AZAV-certified training provider. Depending on your situation, I support you personally as a coach or refer you to a suitable approved training provider.
Only the responsible Agentur für Arbeit or Jobcenter decides on funding.
The approvals relate to the partner structure, not to selbststaendig-in.de as a separately certified training provider.

Common questions before your first consultation
Do I need an AVGS for the first consultation?
No. We can discuss your situation and possible next steps beforehand. This is not a funding commitment.
Does my business idea need to be complete?
No. An initial direction is enough to discuss what you want to develop further.
How much does coaching cost?
With a suitable AVGS approved in writing, coaching may be fully funded. The responsible employment agency or Jobcenter decides on approval. Coaching is also available without AVGS. The price depends on the agreed scope and is quoted individually.
Can coaching take place online?
Yes, coaching is available online throughout Germany. We agree appointment times together.
What happens after the first consultation?
We record the open questions, missing documents and the next step that fits your situation.
