Before you start

Taiwanese hardware companies usually get the entity question right and the funding question wrong, because the Dutch schemes that matter most to them reward engineering payroll rather than revenue, and they are claimed through a filing most foreign-owned companies never make. The eligibility rules are public and specific. We keep them written out with the official guidance linked, including the parts that decide whether a foreign-owned company qualifies at all.

Ten lines is all we need.

Every serious company receives an answer within ten working days.
