I quit my job to start my own business.

(Shreveport,la.u.s.)

My name is Alvin and I've been working at the same company in Louisiana for nearly ten years.I decided to start my own business,so I gave a two week notice and left my old job on good terms. My business failed and after two months of no income I had to shut it down. Is there any chance of drawing unemployment insurance under these circumstances?



Hi Alvin,

No there is no chance of collecting unemployment when you quit to start your own business.

The quit is without good cause because a quit needs to be attributable to the work.
