Provide genuine management and ownership agreements with an accurate explanation of the proposed arrangement. Identify restrictions and unresolved terms.
Assess the actual control rather than a slogan
A percentage and a title are relevant facts but not the whole account. The agreement should support the authority claimed.
Several years of financial statements and tax filings, payroll and employee records, the lease and any assignment terms, supplier and customer contracts, licence and permit details, and a schedule of liabilities. The dealer agreements and manufacturer approval, three years of financial statements and tax returns, the lease or deed, payroll records, the fixed-asset and inventory list, and the executed purchase and escrow agreements. Proof of treaty nationality, evidence of the source and path of the funds, the purchase agreement and financing documents, evidence that the money has been irrevocably committed, and records showing the enterprise is real, operating and not marginal. Commitment shows the money has gone into the enterprise and cannot come back: invoices and matching payments, the lease and rent receipts, payroll registers, licence and incorporation fees, and the business bank account showing the balance being deployed rather than parked.
