This idea, rooted in pre-2020 regulations, continues to circulate even in 2026. The reality is different.

As advisors who support business formation, corporate accounting, PRO services, attestation, legal documentation, and visa processing, we at Exactitude Business Services observe this pattern repeatedly. Entrepreneurs who treat reliable mobility as a strategic support function rather than an afterthought often protect more productive hours and present a stronger professional image from day one.
