What conditions apply for early withdrawal in the event of self-employment?

If you take up self-employment, you can withdraw your vested benefit either in whole or in part in the first year of self-employment. However, this only applies if you are founding a sole proprietor company or a general partnership and are registered with the compensation office as a self-employed person. In the event that you are founding a limited liability company or a joint-stock company, withdrawal is not possible as you are still registered with a pension fund in these cases.
