In order to receive unemployment benefit as an entrepreneur, you are<br />
normally required to deregister your company, sell all assets and cancel<br />
your F-tax and VAT registration. <strong>The</strong> benefit is based on the net income<br />
of the company or the amount of money taken out as salary from the<br />
company. If you have run the business <strong>for</strong> a shorter period than twelve<br />
months, the benefit can be based on the income from earlier employment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> possibility of declaring the company dormant also exists, but<br />
the right is limited to one occasion only.<br />
Examples of insurances that may be necessary <strong>for</strong> a newly started business:<br />
• property insurance: compensates <strong>for</strong> damage to equipment,<br />
products, and valuable documents in the case of fire, burglary,<br />
overflowing water, etc.<br />
• consequential loss insurance: reimburses costs due to business<br />
interruption.<br />
• liability insurance: if you have to pay damages <strong>for</strong> personal<br />
injury and damage to property caused by your products or<br />
services.<br />
• legal expense insurance: covers a lawyer’s fee and court<br />
expenses if you happen to get into a legal dispute.<br />
• accident insurance: if you or your employees are injured in the<br />
place of work or on the way to or from it.<br />

3. Special conditions<br />
Depending on your activities there are different permits that you need. It<br />
is wise to find out at an early stage, which permits you need and what<br />
is required to obtain them. If you are uncertain which permits your business<br />
will need, you are welcome to contact «Startlinjen»(see section 4!).<br />
It is also be a good idea to always contact the local <strong>Business</strong> and<br />
Development Department.<strong>The</strong> permits are <strong>for</strong> example issued by the local<br />
authorities, the county administrative<br />
board, the government or<br />
the police. See also the section<br />
