Before you start

Korean founders almost always arrive with two questions that have nothing to do with each other: how the Dutch company is structured, and what happens to the money when it goes home. Those are answered in different places, by different authorities, and the second one changes more often than the first. We keep both written down rather than summarised from memory, with the rule and the source next to each other, and we date every page so you can see how current it is.

Ten lines is all we need.

Every serious company receives an answer within ten working days.
