Provide actual transaction terms and records, including relevant obligations. Do not assume every receipt is unrestricted capital or that every projected sale has already been paid.

Identify who paid, what was promised and the status of the transaction. The legal investment assessment needs the real arrangement.
Signed supplier quotes and purchase orders, the lease or letter of intent, incorporation and ownership records, licence applications, insurance binders, business bank statements, and receipts for equipment already bought. Alongside the funding trail, collect what shows the enterprise is real and operating: tax returns, financial statements, the lease or premises arrangement, licences, payroll records, supplier and customer contracts, and an asset schedule. 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. Bring the equity grant or subscription document, the services agreement describing what was performed, board or member resolutions approving the issuance, and your own transfer records showing where your money went. Source of funds shows the money is lawfully the investor's: years of tax filings and financial statements for a professional practice, brokerage records for any liquidated investments, and statements for every account the money passed through.
