Before you start

The step that catches Japanese companies is rarely the Dutch one. It is the package the parent company has to produce first: extracts, board resolutions, translations, and a declaration of who ultimately owns the group, all of it in a form a Dutch notary will accept. That work runs on your own internal approval cycle, not on ours, which is why we start it in the first week rather than the fourth.

Ten lines is all we need.

Every serious company receives an answer within ten working days.
