Also, he will need to show 10-12 job applications per month since his notice.

The part about "managing the unemployment money which you receive" is wrong, that is ALK (in the German parts)

RAV Zurich operates a speciality office for jobseekers interested in self-employment called “Fachstelle Selbständigkeit”. More information is available at this link:

Assuming he is an EU/EEA/CH, he would have a legal right to establish a business in Switzerland. There are a couple of things to keep in mind:
- The business must be grounded in the Swiss economy, otherwise there is no need for him or the business to be here.
- His next permit application would be based on a viable business with supporting business plans etc.
- Getting a C permit is a matter of course for an EU citizen as meeting the economic requirement of viable life style translates to an open ended employment contract. If his history was unemployment followed by a failed business followed by another period of unemployment it might be a case for another B.
So I’d say wait for the C permit before starting a business as it would be one significant less thing to worry about.
I came to CH in 1992 for a permanent role with a sponsored B permit. Two years later the company that had hired me was taken over and the facility I worked at was closed down.
With our 3 month settlement pay, another colleague (in the same situation as myself) and I immediately I started an SarL and we hired ourselves out to our defunct company's previous customers. We successfully ran this company for 10 years before going our separate ways.
Starting a business on a fledgling B permit was no hinderance for us.
I'm no specialist but I think there is a hidden important info in this post. If you start your own company do it as an SARL and hire yourself and possibly another person so it is not construed as a "freelancer" company.
Even if you do start an Sàrl or an SA company and you work for this company, the rules are the same for hiring, if you are non EU you have to look for an EU person and then if you can't find one, you would have to justify hiring a non EU person.
Ownership irrespective......
true but isn't there something that if the company goes bankrupt as an employee you can still benefit from RAV? Again I am no expert and know people who were on RAV and were undecided on how to start their own company and I think this was advice they got... all 2nd hand info !
So almost three decades ago before most of the current agreements and laws were put in place....
This is the stuff we need around here, instead of crying over things not working. Dear madame/sir, may I offer a few beers and talk? We immigrants/expats need you and your stories
Phuck current agreements and laws, humans can overcome that and much more.
To renew the B permit or get a C permit a proof of continuous income would be necessary, whether it was employment or unemployment insurance (RAV) income. AFAIK only C permit re renewed without reviewing your income
You mean these laws and agreements ?
If anything I think it is easier today than three decades ago due to the CH/EU bilateral agreements.
Please inform yourself Jim before offering your factless advice…

Check the part saying “If I lose my job or the contract of employment has expired, do I have to leave Switzerland?”
This might be related to people whose B permit is tied to their employment. My husband’s B permit is tied “to me”, i.e., he joined me within the family reunification programme whilst being unemployed at the time, and his B permit got issued after we had proved that we are in a legitimate relationship, I have financial means to support him and he’s got enough financial means on his own to provide for himself.
FYI the quotas on Croatian nationals were lifted at the start of 2022 although reintroduced recently.

To be considered again at the end of the year.

Sort of like a non sequitur? ;-)
Of course an employee is covered under RAV providing he owns less than 50% of the issued shares
hey it was 36 degrees yesterday, excuse my mind fog
Dear Sweatpea
First, I appreciate your full answers so much!
My question: any tips on finding someone that specialises in job hunting in a specific field?
Happy Friday!
Check Google, LinkedIn etc. Depending on what your field of expertise is, people here may have some advice where to go to.
