I am in the Netherlands. Is an owner-funding schedule really that important if the LLC is still small?
I have a small U.S. LLC from Rotterdam that only makes around $38,000 a year. Even so, both advisers keep pushing me to maintain a proper owner-funding and reimbursement schedule because they say cross-border small companies can still get messy very fast.
I want to know whether that is genuinely important for a Netherlands-owned LLC or whether I can wait until the business is bigger before adding that layer of discipline.
