                Yes.

                Depends on what field you're in.

                  I am not sure if that's so true. For example apparently in Holland you can't start Ltd unless you like put 20k euros into shareholder's capital, at least here you don't have such restrictions, only for PLCs.

                    Just get a haircut and get a job FFS. Bloody young people of today. I was working at age 14 and never had the luxury of dreaming.
