Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
week of unemployment  line of work 

Summary:

When self-employment is similar to claimant's usual line of employment, there is a likelihood that claimant intends the self-employment to become his or her main livelihood and to devote all his or her efforts and time to it.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
week of unemployment  incomes 

Summary:

The lack of financial success in the beginning years is the result of claimant's decision to put any income earned back into the business to build it up rather than to take money from the company in wages. This does not demonstrate that the enterprise was "so minor in extent".


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
week of unemployment  minor in extent 

Summary:

He contributed a significant amount of money to the enterprise: an initial investment of $20,000 and another $40,000 within one year. The larger the financial commitment, the more likely it is that that business is intended to be or become one's principal source of livelihood.
