Distinguish a promise from money or another qualifying contribution actually committed under established terms. Do not present an informal expectation as completed funding.
Resolve the missing record with the contributor
Identify the amount, source, transfer path and ownership rights it would create. Ask the partner for authentic evidence and document changes to the agreed structure. A combined bank balance cannot explain every contributor’s source or the applicant’s control. If the contribution does not occur, reassess the investment and operating plan on the remaining facts.
Entity and ownership records, asset titles and lien searches, the lease and its assignment terms, service contracts, three years of tax returns and payroll, and the seller's licence status and qualifier arrangement. Bank statements tracing the funds from their source into the U.S. company, then invoices, titles, a signed lease and registration showing the money spent on the enterprise, together with a statement of what remains as working capital. Gather the property deed, acquisition record, mortgage payoff, sale contract, closing statement, co-owner allocation agreement, tax records where relevant, bank statements for every transfer, and the business purchase or escrow documents.
