Structure questions
What do we set up on day one? Personal holdings above one operating BV — one extra deed, paying at every event after: the skeleton. How fast can we incorporate from abroad? Two to three weeks, fully remote: the route. Delaware or the BV? Follow the market and the lead investor: the transatlantic patterns.
Money questions
What salary do I take pre-revenue? The written arrangement level, with the borrowing room beside it: the play. Who funds the developers? The payroll-tax credit does, monthly: the WBSO. What is the 9% everyone mentions? The innovation box on your own technology’s profit: the box. What happens at exit? The holding receives it exempt, you time the rest: the exit chapter.
Team and market questions
How do we hire a developer from anywhere? Recognised sponsorship, salary norm, weeks: the route. Options or certificates for the team? The STAK carries both cleanly: the pool and the option rules. Do we need a licence? Only where the model triggers one — payments, crypto, investments: the map. And funding beyond VC? The whole ladder: grants to growth equity.
