I live in Poland and everything is remote. Is it enough to just say that, or do I need a formal facts file?
My U.S. LLC is fully remote from Warsaw and I have no U.S. staff, office, or inventory. Because the facts feel so simple, I was tempted to rely on the story itself instead of building a separate memo or file to support it.
My preparer says that is a mistake and that remote-founder cases should still keep a formal facts file. I want to know whether that is a normal level of caution for a Polish founder.
