I am not an accountant.

What if you setup GmbH and accumulate wealth there with no limits? Then it can pay you a small salary for private expenses to match your student grant limit. I think the grant should not limit you to be company owner/shareholder, unless you earn dividends.

I wouldn't be able to renew the grant because it limits personal assets to 7.500€ (Bafög), which would be exceeded by having the equity stake in the company.

A GmbH needs a capital of 25.000€. An UG might be a better option.
