Hello!

Let's be realistic here. In order to get your type rating sponsored in business aviation with zero experience, you either need to be best buddies with some aircraft owner or chief pilot or otherwise be very very lucky.

There still are some companies who will not ask you to pay for your rating up front and "bond" you instead. AFAIK DC Aviation is one of those and they are presently recruiting a first officer for an XLS+ You might want to try your luck by filling out their online application form!
Otherwise there are quite a few airlines in central Europe looking for pilots who will not make you pay for your rating. Eurowings, WDL, LGW, ... Or maybe Sun Air in Denkmark to which a couple of colleagues went some time ago.

Good luck!
