AVGS requirements explained

Your employment status alone does not establish a right to funded founder coaching. The authority assesses whether the support is suitable in your circumstances.

What to prepare and check

Employment situation

People who are unemployed or looking for work because they face unemployment may be considered for support. Prepare information about your employment, benefits and professional goal; the responsible Agentur für Arbeit or Jobcenter decides individually.

Voucher conditions

Check the voucher's purpose, validity, region and any restrictions.

Suitable approved programme

The provider and the specific programme must be suitable. Funded coaching may begin only once the responsible authority has given the required written approval (Bewilligungsbescheid). A voucher alone does not authorise the start. Do not resign from employment in anticipation of funding.

FAQ

Your questions about this topic

Does employment rule out a conversation?

Not automatically. An expected end of employment and a concrete risk of unemployment may be relevant. Employment or a business idea alone does not create entitlement. Do not resign in expectation of funding. The responsible authority assesses the integration objective and the individual case.

Discuss your next step

If you would like support, you can use a free, optional first consultation with us. We will look at your situation together and, where helpful, prepare your next steps, documents and questions for the responsible authority.

Coaching is also possible without AVGS. The price depends on the scope and is offered individually.
