Hiring a Foreign Employee: General Requirements and Procedures
Immigration has no fixed formal requirements for a company hiring a foreign employee — each case is evaluated individually.
Immigration sets no clearly codified formal requirements for a hiring company — evaluation is case by case, looking at the annual report (if one exists), funding/investment, and justification for why the position is needed; there are cases of a one-person, pre-profit company in its first year passing successfully.
